Christmas 2008 - We had both sets of families come to our house this year for Christmas parties because Brad had to work Christmas Day. First Brad's parents came Christmas Eve and Christmas night, and then my whole family came to stay Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night! It was a fun time with everyone spread out to sleep all over our house. I do love a full house, I just wish I had more beds for everyone's poor backs!
This was after a big day of opening presents, love the jammies!
Grandkids with Grandpa Ken and Grandma Lois
What a great looking group of kids!
This was our first attempt at fondue! After a bit of stress in the beginning when none of the cheese was melting and the kids were sitting hungry, we forgot the fondue pot and melted everything in saucepans and in the microwave. After that it was a lot of fun!
Brad was Mr. Smoker during our Christmas parties, here is the turkey he smoked for 11 hours Christmas Day! It was yummy! He also smoked a ham and a brisket a few days later, we have been very spoiled!

Grandpa Rex and Grandma Cathy and the grandkids (we missed Jen's family but she is having a baby soon, another grandchild and cousin for next Christmas!)

It reminds me of the Christmas that Mark's whole family came to visit. We used Monica's house to sleep the entire family. I always think it's nice to see them come and nice to see them leave. :)
