Christmas Day 2011

Once again I had my wonderful husband take pictures of the day while I was at work.


Looks like Christopher woke up Christmas morning and started playing with his new toys!






This is his "say cheese" face, of course!





There's a nice smile :)








Chadd, Ashly and Christopher spent the day at Chadd's parents house celebrating Christmas Day.









The table set nicely for the meal.






Chadd's parent's Christmas Tree







Christmas Decorations









Meatballs (be prepared, I got just as many pictures of food as I got of people!)








Pickles








Salad







The table right before the meal is served.







The pies that are for dessert - Betty's Pies.

Gift opening

















Christopher got a dinosaur from Chadd's cousin, Eric and his wife, Jill. And Ashly got some itunes.








The pies





















Christopher's big gift from Nana and Papa - a motorcycle game you ride the bike and go on courses on your TV.






There's the photographer! Great work, Chadd!

Christmas at the Lake 2011

Christopher got to open a present early! Merry Christmas to everyone. We had a great Larson family Christmas celebration on Saturday. I had to work so I give credit to my wonderful husband for taking all these pictures!













Old men playing with fire!







Ashly entertaining the kids








Last minute gift wrapping!












Turkey number one. Chadd made the meat of the day in The Big Easy turkey fryer.





























Christopher playing with the bigger boys

















Turkey number two. Chadd made two turkeys back to back.








The warm cozy fire






The stockings are hung by the chimney with care...these are Chadd's grandparent's stockings that are put up each year - Gil and Helen. What a nice memory.






Cindy and her beautiful smile :)




Ashly and Lauren






I wonder if Chadd's dad made the "naughty" or the "nice" list!











I'm starting to see a pattern with Ray and Chadd and these type of pictures!





I can't really explain this one...guess you had to be there!






Well, Dave, I just don't know what to say....hmmm? I like your nice, festive sweater?









Buddy!










Christopher didn't really want to wear his dress shirt.









Vickie's homemade dessert. Looks yummy!





Christopher and Nana







Christopher playing on the frozen lake.
















What a great looking bunch!







Gift opening! I got there just in time for the gift opening, but Christopher was napping and missed the whole thing :(


We didn't get a picture of Ashly opening gifts, but she is hiding behind Jackie on this picture. Thanks everyone for the nice gifts.




There was a rumor that the Bellefeuille kids were embarrassed about these gifts for grandma!!!










Christopher opened his gifts when he woke up.
