Another Christmas in Virginia! This is our second Christmas in our "new" house and everyone received exactly what they wanted. The kids had a wonderful time, we cooked a great, yet small Christmas dinner and enjoyed relaxing together as a family. Merry Christmas everyone!

It's Christmas time again! This time, we are all here and in a new house, but still have all the old traditions. Merry Christmas!

It's Christmas time again! We are spending another Christmas in Virginia and another one without Richard. But we were able to talk with him via Skype for several hours which was nice. He was able to see them open their presents.

We celebrated Christmas at our house this year! We had a great time! All the kids got all sorts of things and they really enjoyed it all! I cooked Christmas dinner and it was yummy!

Oh my goodness, it's time for another Christmas! Richard is here this year. We plan on traveling to Texas for Christmas then hold our own Christmas here once we return. Hope everyone gets what's on their list this year!

Here we are celebrating our second Christmas in Virginia. We had a great time, but missed Richard a lot. The girls got plenty of things from us and their grandparents and other relatives. I cooked Christmas dinner and we had a nice day. Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

We are spending this Christmas in Virginia! We are in our new place, no furniture, but a neat 4.5 foot Christmas tree! Santa found our house and the girls racked in the gifts! Everyone had lots of fun. It rained all day so no snow!

Christmas 2004 was spent in Vilseck, Germany. This is the first Christmas that Richard was not here and we really missed having him here!

Pamela's mom was visiting during the holidays so you'll see her in some of the pictures.

There are pictures of Christmas Eve spent with friends and our gift exchange with our neighbors and other friends that live off post.

Included in here are the decorations around the house. Enjoy!

Christmas 2003 - This is our first Christmas in Germany. It was very different and unique!

Christmas 2002 spent in Abilene, Texas. Not only were the Foreman's there, but the Payne's (Pamela's parents) and the Tetzman's (Richard's parents). It was a very special Christmas.

Christmas day was wonderful! I woke everyone up around 5am and was ready to open presents! Santa left us both a Barbie Jeep. He also left me my very own bike! I had so many presents to open that I just flew through them.

Let's see I got a bike, a jeep, lots of books, a set of huge dominos, a Leap Pad for beginners, Scooby Doo DVD, money, a new kitchen and laundry center, a Scooby Doo body pillow, some Bob the Builder things, a helmet and knee and elbow pads and a Little People car and some new clothes and a Scooby Doo pillow and some Play Dough. Whew! I think that's it!

It was fun opening up everything and I was so excited. I love everything!

My second Christmas was a lot better than my first! For one, I was wide awake!

I got lots more stuff too. I guess you can buy more for a 14 month old than you can a two month old!

I can't remember everything I got. It was bunches! I did get lots of books and a cute teddy bear that sings "I'm a super duper pooper." It's cute! I was given some clothes and an eggs in a basket game. Mommy gave me a Boo doll and Santa gave me some books and a Blue's Clues DVD with Joe. I got a bike too. It's blue, red and yellow. I got a pillow case too. Daddy gave me a tool bench and a hammer with nails I can beat on. Santa gave me a Wal-Mart doll and a Wendy doll too.

Every year, we do several things on Christmas Eve. Richard and I started some of these with our first Christmas together back in 1996. Once we had Deanna and Megan, we adapted and added a few things. Our main thing is that we are together for the day.

Pictures from Christmas 2001 spent in Abilene, Texas. This was Megan's first Christmas.
