Christmas 2011

Traditionally, on Christmas Eve we go to church with the Chaney's and then it's back to the house for homemade pizza and presents. The only difference this year is that my mom came with us.

Here's the lovely Christmas tree before it was pounced upon.
John opens up Nerf guns.
Brendan watches to see what Paul gets in case he wants to "borrow" it.
Everyone has something to open.
Brendan got this stylish head cover.
The best part of Christmas is family. Here's John and Mom.

After the annual 'gift-fest', John, Mom & I went home. My mom slept over and spent Christmas morning with us.
