Our final Christmas

Sunday we spent the day with my mom and Dan for our final Christmas celebration. We went over right away in the morning again and it was snowing so hard! It was beautiful (however Matt's [parents were driving back to Missouri so we were worried about the roads) and it was coming down so fast. We opened presents and had breakfast.



Carter got a set of golf clubs with a bag just his size. This was a very exciting moment for him because for those of you that do not know, Carter LOVES to golf! I used to say he was my Tiger Woods but I will be looking for a new nickname for him. He was so excited when he opened this gift and I am so glad I was able to get it on video.

We took a break again this year from opening presents because there are so many of us and it takes a long time to open them. After present we had the annual Bake Off competition. Unfortunately we did not remember to take pictures!!! I made a Tres Leches Cake (it means 3 milks) and Riley made a Red Velvet Cake. I think I took 3rd and Riley took 5th (sorry if this is incorrect). My step-sister took 1st place this year with a pumpkin roll. Everything tasted so good this year, so it was very difficult to judge. The snow kept falling and the idea of playing golf in the snow became a reality as the 1st annual Christmas Golf Classic took place. The boys decided to drill holes in golf balls and tie ribbons on them so they would be able to find them in the snow.



Well, I am officially caught up on the blog. I apologize for so many new posts in a row but for those of you that stay in touch through this, I wanted to share our holiday with you! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and you are ready to ring in 2010!!!! Happy New Year!
