The Rodericks Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. I think having the kids older makes a huge difference. We also had my two younger sisters this year. I actully had to get the kids up to open the presents. After opening the presents we went to church. Then it was home to start on the turkey dinner.

 Our tree this year. One of the main priorities for me in getting ready for Christmas is a fresh cut Christmas tree. This year we got a ten foot tree. I loved it, it was the biggest tree we have gotten.

 I have a couple of Barbie ornaments that my Grandmother had gotten me over the years. I now have someone to pass them on to.  This year I bought Rhiannon a new Barbie ornament. I loved this one.

 I have a little helper now. She wants to be right with me. She stayed in the kitchen with me on Christmas Eve the whole time I was in there.

 Of course the boys came running when they heard I was doing the turkey. Luke had to make sure it was dead. Mac thought it was nasty. Rhainnon was showing the boys what to do. I think I have the smallest kitchen in Anchorage. So, when the newest addition comes, I have no idea where he is going to stand.

Rhainnon and I on Christmas morning. She defiently looks better first in the morning than I do.

Trying to get a picture with all three looking is about impossible. Our three kiddos on Christmas morning waiting to open the presents.

I love watching the kids get so excited about the smallest things. They had so much fun. I think next year will be even better. I hope everyone else had as blessed a Christmas as the Rodericks household.

We are now looking forward to the new year and the newest addition to our family that will be coming in April.
