Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we went over to the Stanleys for supper!

Grant, Mom, Dad and Heather


Chris and Ella


The apple pie I made for dessert ;) This is the first pie I've ever made. But, I cheated - I bought the add water kind of dough and used Mike's canned apple pie for the insides! The dough didn't work out as planned when I realized we didn't have a rolling pin ;) but it tasted good!


Ella eyeing up the presents.


Some Lego Duplos from us :)


Look at these awesome tables Grant made for our living room!


Aww thanks hunny ;)

Time for presents! Gary got a new Stormy Chromer hat from Grant (it's Grant's favorite kind of hat ;)


Grant got a fire starting flint! He loved it :) We thought for sure he was going to start the house on fire because he could hardly contain himself and just really wanted to try it.


Mom Marla got a new photo calendar for 2011!


Clark got a new shirt.


I got a new wallet!


Molly got a hand mixer!


Zoey got a new toy but she was too exhausted to play with it ;)


But she woke up after awhile and played with it!


The next morning we made some biscuits and gravy for everyone!

We had a great weekend with the Schnells!
