How do you spend your Saturday?

The Harding's slept in, did a few chores, and went thru the sock drawers. Have you ever gone to your drawer to find someone else's socks? Well we have many problems with socks at our house and decided to put that to an end. We unloaded all the sock drawers and put initials inside each sock. It gets way to confusing with 5 people now. So after some unloading, rematching, finding the right owner, and initialing, all the socks are in the right drawer with initials. We shall hopefully have no more sock issues. (HOPEFULLY!)

Marina

We received some new photos of Marina that we wanted to share with you. She is doing well and attending the university in San Sebastian. She is hoping to make it to the United States again soon to visit. Maybe even for a Christmas! We love and miss you Marina!

Christmas Dinner!

Piles and piles of snow changed the location of dinner to Dad and Mom's. No one could get into our neighborhood, and it was safer if grandma stayed put. We had a delicious turkey dinner with all the trimmings and delicious homemade cakes that grandma made for dessert. Alan & Lisa and girls stopped by for dessert. Ricky enjoyed meeting his cousins. And Kelli, the fairy godmother, came thru with gifts despite the weather and lack of deliveries!

Christmas Morning!

Santa came~everyone was happy~although not quite awake! We forgot that 8 year olds get up a lot earlier than teens and old tired adults!

Christmas with the Lind's!

We had a great time celebrating with my family. All three kids were really excited and loved everything that they received.

Christmas with the Hardings!

Sunday, Dec. 21, Jason got the crew here and we celebrated Christmas early. Jason and Kate had hoped that they would make it to Sacramento for Christmas with his mom...but the weather did not cooperate for their plane schedule. Ricky was thrilled with his Beavers stuff...he is all decked out from slipper to backpack. We enjoyed a nice day together. We even had spaghetti like Ricky requested. Grandma Baker was here from CA too to celebrate.

Merry Christmas from the Hardings!

Here is our decorated tree! Tall and beautiful with the children posing!

We never made it to get pictures taken...so since we were snowed in...we did it ourselves!

We got the kiddos all dressed up the other evening and shot about 100 photos and a few turned out half way decent! (This is Nicole's least favorite photo. She hates how much taller Amanda is than her!)

My favorite of Nicole, Amanda and Ricky!

Ricky's contagious smile!

Merry Christmas from the Harding family!
