Christmas Eve 2010

After we all attend our Christmas Eve Church services, we gather at Nick and Betsy's home for the annual Family Christmas Eve Party....We enjoy goodies baked by Betsy play a game (this year was Christmas Pictionary) and we have our white elephant DVD exchange. Nick and Betsy's family all agree we LOVE our little tradition.

JESUS CHRIST is born

Luke 2:11

Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you,

he is

CHRIST THE LORD

The Dunlap Family Christmas Quilt

I had made the kids all new stockings a couple of years ago, so all 7 of them have matching stockings! I had enough fabric left over to make a quilt for them, I quilted in all of their names and other words for them to find while snuggled in the quilt. I LOVE YOU, Kevin, Codi, Kaden, Kylor, Kendall, Kyson and Kelson~ It makes me so happy to see all of you under the quilt.....

Secret Garden Christmas Party

This group of friends really know how to treat ourselves to a great Christmas Party.... We bring gifts and then steal them from each other...making for some really funny pictures...I love these ladies!~ my gift this year were the pots with succulents, I painted chalkboard paint on the rims and then wrote their names, made for terrific place cards on the table. Merry Christmas, Ann, Sue, Sue, Cathy, Helen,Liz, Elsie and Carole, can't wait for next year!
