Christmas '09: Part II

When we were done at Bri's, we headed back to the McInlaws' house for Christmas with them. We were closing in on Chase's nap time so we did his Christmas then did ours while he was sleeping.

Can you find the McHusband? He's almost lost behind Chase's stack of gifts.
















Grammie got Chase a Sit n Spin. He doesn't quite know how to work it yet, but I'm sure he'll have it figured out in no time.













Note the tongue sticking out in concentration.













The McDad got a new scarecrow for his garden and Kevin and Jenny got him a cute t-shirt.






























Jenny and I each had a big heavy bag to open. We saved it for last and opened our bags after everyone else was finished with their gifts. I helped Jenny with her bag (bags?), then she returned the favor.


























Our duffle bags were each FILLED with wrapped gifts! Look how excited I am to have more stuff to open. I'm like the proverbial kid on Christmas morning!













We made a mess tearing through our bags and we had a ton of fun doing it. Thanks, McMom!













Of course, it wouldn't be Christmas without an annual scraping of the burned stuff. The McMom tried a new broccoli-cheese casserole and it had those yummy French Fried Onions on top. Well, it was supposed to. Jenny and I had to scrape most of them off because they were a little too toasted for our tastes.













Oh, I can't forget. Even the puppies got a little something special from Santa a.k.a. the McDad.

Seeing as how I'm a big proponent of at least one special surprise, I might just have to steal McMom's idea of gifts inside a gift -- what fun!!!

Good to know the McMom is into traditions - seems it just wouldn't be a McMerry if there wasn't some scraping involved by the McDaughter-in-laws!
