And the last family Christmas gathering 2010...

We had a blessed Christmas gathering with Joel's family on December 26.

{Waiting to open gifts.}

Then came the BIG gifts...

Hudson and Benjamin just flipped when Grandma and Grandad brought out the horses. I mean, these things are life size.

Thankfully, they only bought one per family..haha.

{The "triplets"} {Joel's sisters and I were pregnant at the same time so their birthdays are one month after the other. }

And the whole gang, minus three of us. Alexis plans to photoshop us in later. Since I was the photographer, I will be placed in the front row. :)

Remember last Christmas? We are so thankful to have us all together.

Praise God, Joel's dad is doing wonderfully well. He's a walking, totally recovered miracle.

We are so very blessed, indeed.
