Christmas 2010

Christmas morning before the chaos. As Patrick said:
Respect this mantle! Eight hand sewn, sequined stockings anywhere from 5 months to 45 years old. All hung (with care) on the same mantle for the first time ever.

Carter's big present this year was a desk, complete with office supplies. When he saw the clip magnets on his hutch, the first thing he did was RUN to his room and get a picture of Mama Helen and Daddy Phil to clip on his desk!

Carter helps Eavan with her Santa gifts

Everyone enjoyed their gifts!


Even if Eavan mostly wanted to chew hers...





Carter liked to help everyone unwrap their presents

Right around the time we went over to celebrate with the other Fowlkes family, it started to SNOW!

Just look at this hefty accumulation we had the next day!

The Fowlkes

The out-laws!

What a wonderful way to begin a new year, with such precious memories of Christmas 2010. May this year, 2011, bring as much joy, as many blessings, and as much gratitude for the life and love we share.
