Christmas at The Strange's

In the order they occurred...

Early Christmas with Nanny and Papa Strange. Gracie LOVED her new dressy outfit.

Ellie got a vaccuum that does all sorts of fun things.

Faith is pumped about her new doll from Caleb and Colby.

Gracie and Aryna sang a special at church on Sunday while sporting matching dresses...Gracie looks like she is hogging the mic doesn't she?!!

Santa came!! Ummm....Gracie moved some of the loot before I could take the picture, but you get the idea.

Ellie was too tired. She slept through all the fun.

Still sleeping...Gracie is opening Ellie's gifts for her.

STOCKINGS!!!!

Opening a box of clothes I think.

The "real" guitar Santa brought Gracie because she "wants to be just like Daddy".

This one is my favorite. Cam is teaching Faith how to change a diaper. She got the dumb potty baby from Santa (hehehe).

Can you see her outfit? Cute isn't it? She dressed herself...
Ohhhh it is the swinger! Faith just loves her new fancy clothes.


The house is undecorated and the tree droppings are all vaccuumed up. The presents have found new homes (mostly), and life is getting back to what we call normal. We had a really nice Christmas full of family, food, games, and gifts. And of course, there were some disappointments as always when everyone is together...hehehe. But there were some snapshots of the day so that you can pretend you were here...(this was supposed to be BEFORE the pictures, but I didn't want to retype it. So just read it here and pretend you read it first).








Cam got me some of the neatest gifts. Nothing that I asked for, but he did good!! All by himself. Impressed I am! He got me a digital sewing machine. I do not know how to sew and seriously, it took me an hour to thread the thing. But I really want to learn! You push start and it sews all by itself. There is no foot pedal that you must use (it came with one if you don't like the auto thing). It embroiders and makes neat little designs and does just about everything you would want it to do. Now if only I can figure it out...I am sure you will hear LOTS about it later.
