CHRISTMAS EVE

Scott's big gifts were his pistol and tennis racket.

For the first year ever, Max wasn't interested in opening his presents.

Scott got some new Nomis clothes, too.

MOM'S CHRISTMAS GIFTS

A steam mop

A new coat

A special dress from Scott - a real surprise

The Fontinini Three Kings

MARK'S BACKPACK BLOWER

I couldn't wrap the entire blower so I just wrapped the end tube. Mark wasn't quite sure what I'd given him!

CHRISTMAS EVE WITH GRANDAD

BUCHANAN CHRISTMAS

Hannah Grace and Caitlyn are ready for presents!

Time to open presents

Hannah Grace can't decide which is her favorite.

Grandad had so many presents he didn't know who gave him what!

Caitlyn and the boys

Grandad must have been good.

ORNAMENT SWAP

It was really cold on Monday so Scott was kind enough to give the ladies a ride down to the house.

We couldn't get any more around this table!

Everyone brought great brunch dishes!

The ornament swap had great ornaments!

Christmas Party

We enjoyed our annual Mexican Christmas party with a fun secret Santa at the end.

Neil and Jamie sat in front of the desserts for some reason.

Mike, the famed builder of our house and dear wife Kathy.

Rock n Rackets

We really enjoyed watching Andy Roddick and Serena Williams come to UT.

Serena joined the UT Dance Team and did well!

Laura's birthday

Today is Laura's 25th birthday- hard to believe. It's also hard to be so far apart on the special occasions. So in her honor, I've posted pictures of the Christmas trees. She loves Christmas ornaments more than anyone in the world (with me slightly behind her). So many of the ornaments have special meaning and so many have been given to me by her. So Happy Birthday special daughter - we are the luckiest parents on earth to have you as our daughter.
