Christmas 2009 - Part II

In the afternoon on Christmas Day, we went over to my parents house for the 2nd part of Christmas.

We had a great time spending the afternoon with them. Santa brought Cyanne a pretty nifty tricycle!... The afternoon ended with a gorgeous sunset.
We then drove home and had a fantastic dinner with Tom's family - as well as my parents who joined us for dinner at our house.

This photo makes me laugh - they were tending to a crying Maritt but - the thing that's funny is that my Mom and Cyanne have this tendency to end up wearing the same thing. Here, brown pants and a red shirt. The day before, they both had on black pants and a pink shirt. It's rather funny because it's totally unplanned.

Beautiful Christmas sunset



Christmas Dinner at the Ranch - Blabey & Vogel Families:



It's always nice to have a reason to pull out our wedding china, silver and crystal:



The Blabeys ended up cooking a fantastic dinner of turkey, stuffing, sides, Richard's amazing cranberry sauce that I could eat every day..., pies/tarts by Mart & Ryan, baked brie and much more. Everyone helped out and added in something delicious! It turned out to be a wonderful, fun, festive and wonderful Christmas surrounded by loving family. We could not have asked for a single thing more.









Cyanne snuggling before bed with milk and some of her Christmas presents - Big Bird and many new versions of "puppy" in case something happens to him... which, hopefully, it won't! One of these is for Maritt but she was just breaking it in for her.
