The Harrelson's Happenings: Merry Christmas 2010!!!

This years Christmas was absolutely wonderful!!! We all had a hectic, cold, busy, fun-filled time. My Dad arrived on December 21st to begin the festivities. It was such a great treat to have him here!! All the the grandkids (and adults) LOVED that he was able to spend this Christmas with us!!! We had so much fun on his visit. The six days he spent with us flew by!!!!!!

We visited Michael, Nicole, and Will's new house. The kids couldn't wait to show Papa their rooms and new home! We also visited Momma Joe's Christmas cabin. Dad got a chance to go watch Skyler and Alyssa at gymnastics/tumbling. It was a great time for him to be there......SKYLER DID HER BACK HANDSPRING ALL BY HER SELF!!!!!!!!!!!!! Way to go Skyler!!!!!!!!! We ate WAY TO MUCH yummy food, had great conversations, played fun games, and enjoyed every minute that we had!! Can't wait until he returns for the next visit!!!!!!

Christmas Eve was fantastic! We had all of our family here with us. We had the following able to come celebrate with us: Rusty, Matt, Skyler, Alyssa, M

omma Joe, Papa, Michael, Nicole, Will, Great Grandmother, Grandmom, Grandad,

John, Michael, Michelle, Sean, and Emma. WOW...what a house full, but it was a great time! It was very special to get both Matt and I's families together. Again, on Christmas Eve we had tons of yummy food, fun, and presents! I don't think I would have changed anything about this day if I could.

Christmas Eve night was filled with our traditional activities. We set out cookies/candy out for

Santa, and carrots for the reindeer. Matt read "

Twas the Night Before Christmas", and we sprinkled reindeer food in the front yard. The girls struggled a bit trying to go to sleep, but they eventually drifted off. We all awoke to great surprises from Santa. The girls woke up a bit too early (6 am), but they were just too excited to sleep!! We followed stockings by the opening of gifts. As always, it was way too many. We are a very lucky family!!!!!
