Christmas 2008




Well we had a really nice Christmas again this year. On Christmas Eve it was just our usual thing that we do every year. First the four of us go out for a Chinese dinner (don't know how this tradition got started but we've been doing it for about 10 years now :D ) then we come home to have our private little family gift opening celebration.


On Christmas Day we had most of the extended family come over for dinner and a gift exchange. This year we had Ron, Jerry & family, Kathy & family, and Stacy & family for a total of 18 people for dinner. At Thanksgiving we picked names for our Secret Santa so on Christmas everyone got to find out who had their name and had a gift to open. It's always fun to see what everyone receives cause the gifts range all the way from practical to the absurd! (I, of course, got a singing snowman who has a dog peeing on him - hilarious) I've once again posted pictures of our festivities in our Picasa Web Album if you'd like to check them out. http://picasaweb.google.com/Benhausen/Christmas2008?feat=directlink We hope all of you had a very merry Christmas and we wish you all a safe and happy new year!!
