Christmas 2006 - Chattanooga

This year we celebrated Christmas in Chattanooga at held all of the major festivities at our house since we had already "done Christmas" at Todd's and Mark & Kristin's houses. On Sabbath afternoon we had a big potluck lunch with Jane11's immediate & extended family (parents, brothers, grandma, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc). It was also nice to see Uncle Dan, who flew in from Arkansas and spent several days with us all.

Santa came a day early since Mark and Kristin had to drive back down to Florida on Monday the 25th, so we opened our presents on Sunday. Er!c's parents came up from Jasper, Georgia to join the rest of us for lunch so we had a pretty full house. Tofu had lots of fun exploring through the presents under the tree. She had even more fun playing with the piles of wrapping paper!

Here are some pics of our Christmas celebrations.
Merry Christmas!

This is our "chimney with care" where we hung our stockings. Santa was so generous that the weighted stockings kept pulling the stocking hangers off the "mantle".




























Woohoo! A new camera!



Jane11 and Er!c open their present from Tofu, MAD GAB.



Tofu enjoys a catnip toy.
Note the puddle of drool on the paper.
