Christmas 2012 with the Richey/Lawsons

Christmas Day at Val and Dave's!  Everyone but Cody was there, although we got to talk to him and see him on skype.  That was really cool, but sure would have loved to be able to give him a hug!

Lindsay, Jake and their kids Madi and Kendra were there, as was Kelsey and her boyfriend Zeb.  Hailey, too, and her boyfriend Ryan.  When Cathi and the kids arrived there were lots of people!  But a wonderful opportunity to visit, catch up and take lots of pictures!!  What a wonderful Christmas dinner!  Dave had cooked a huge prime rib in the smoker and it was outstanding!  Val had lots of side dishes to go with it - lots of good food!  And, lots of yummy desserts, as well!

We girls went shopping on the day after Christmas - Dave and Lee opted to stay home.  The kids all had Christmas money to spend and were looking forward to some sales!  There were good ones, too!  Madi and Kendra were troopers and handled the day of shopping really well!

Val had to go back to work on Thursday but we spent part of Thursday and Friday with Lindsay and her kids and Hailey, too.  We had lots of yummy left-overs to eat, too.  

On Saturday night we all went out to Round Table Pizza for a pizza fix!  A wonderful 5 days with everyone in Bellingham!  
Thanks for a great holiday!!

The girls!  We took a "girls" picture 6 years ago and there were only 7 of us!

Needless to say, we loved having this photo opportunity with almost all of our beautiful children and grand children and GREAT grandchildren!
