Christmas with The Pates-2010

After our Christmas celebration as a family of 3, we headed to my parents house to spend the weekend with them and LOTS of other loved ones. :) Great Gram was there, Great Great Aunt Shirley & Uncle Vernon, Great Aunt Connie & Uncle Dan, Great Aunt Cheryl & Uncle John, Cousin Jake, Mimi & Poppa and Uncle Derek & Aunt Anne were all there. It was SO much fun! We ate lots of yummy food, attended the Christmas Eve service at Mimi and Poppa's church, drove to look at Christmas lights, ate more food, read the Christmas story, opened LOTS of presents, had a snowball fight, ate more food, played with our new toys, had a cookie decorating contest (guess who won?) :), played card games, ate more food and LOVED every minute of it. Thanks to Mimi and Poppa for hosting Christmas this year and for all of the yummy food and wonderful hospitality.
