Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas in FL with the whole Coleman clan coming together for the holidays. The family has grown quite a bit since the last time we were all together. The kids had a great time with their cousins and we look forward to all being together again in the future.

My sister's son, Atticus, put Ryan on his wish list for Christmas, so his Dad wrapped Ryan up for him to open.

Miranda has been wanting a pink butterfly chair for Christmas and Santa did not disappoint her. She loves to sit and read in her new chair.

I know these pictures are a little out of order, but this year my parents thought it would be fun to act out the nativity for Christmas Eve. There are enough grandkids now and they had a great time getting dressed up.

Evan's first Christmas went much better than I had feared. Once we took the "no-nos" off, he was a much happier little boy. We just made sure he kept those hands out of his mouth. He had a great time opening his gifts.

While the women were in the kitchen cooking Christmas Eve dinner, my Mom bought a gingerbread house kit for the kids to do. They had a great time decorating them and my sisters made award certificates for them to reward them for their creativity.
