Wow, have we had a fun Christmas season! We are so blessed to have been able to spend time with our family this year. Below are some pictures from the SIX Christmases of 2009!
Christmas at Aunt Becky's with all the "Scritchfield" kids (minus Nicholas, Katy and Connor!).
Listening to the story of Jesus' birth. 'Tis the Reason for the Season! Happy Birthday, Jesus!
Our house with brand new LED icicle lights (cute and energy efficient!). Thanks to my dear, sweet hubby for climbing on the roof to put them up!
The Roden family Christmas tree - with a VERY special blessing sitting right in front!
Our tree again. If you look closely towards the bottom of the tree, there's a big circle ornament with glitter around the edges. That one's handmade from precious Abigail! Our first handmade ornament as parents!
Going on a golf cart ride at Poppy's to check out the neighborhood decorations.
Wow, you mean Rudolph's nose lights up AND he sings?! What could be better?
Going for a stroll...
Looking at the outside tree lights!
Robby and Wade (aka table tennis champ!) playing ping pong. It's a little over 70 degrees on Christmas Eve-Eve and these boys break a sweat!
Abby was taking notes and cheering on her Daddy!
She wanted to give it a try!
After mastering ping pong, she wanted to give Wii a try. Notice the "oooh" face!
Mason had to show his stuff, too.
Then he wanted to try ping pong.

Abby on a wagon ride! She loves it! Don't worry, it is pretty warm outside!
Time for presents! Mason can really tear into them!
Hey, who is this one for?
Abigail and her Poppy in front of the tree!
A quick bedtime story!
Almost 75 the day before, and now what? Even though you can't tell in this picture, it just began snowing at our house on Christmas Eve!
All of the grandkids have their own trees at Mimi's house. Here's Abigail's gorgeous hot pink tree!
Abigail's tree all lit up!
Mason's blue tree!
Chris and Randi's baby-to-be even had a tree!
...and the stockings were hung!
Abby and Precious trying to help in the kitchen!
Mimi cooking a delicious dinner.
Abigail and Santa share the same drink of choice.
The trees (and presents!) at Mimi's.
Abby Claus
Snowing on Christmas Eve! Our first White Christmas!
A message in the snow!
Eating at the kiddie table. In this case, that is a big girl accomplishment! She ate all by herself!
This is the first time they've actually played together! Merry Christmas!
Artists at work.
Mr. and Mrs. Claus, er, I mean Jones.
Yay! Time for presents!
You can tell Abigail thinks her new bracelet is special.
Mason proving he knows what to do when faced with a present! He could really rip into them!
Cute boots!
A rocking giraffe! She named him T.J.
Princess Abigail and her magic wand.
A present for our tiny nephew-to-be: Baby Pickles! As you can see, Randi is delighted!
Mason and Mimi tickling Abigail! What fun!
Christmas morning - just woke up! Look at that hair!
A little blurry, but cute nevertheless.
Santa brought a singing, talking, smart shopping cart!
A new chair?! Cool! She loves having furniture just her size.
Playing with her toys from Santa.
Eggs, anyone?
She wouldn't stop playing with her shopping cart. We had to hide it in order to get her to open her other presents. Good job, Santa!
She's finally getting into opening presents! She can do it herself!
Mmmm...tastes like BACON!
Typical toddler: Taking a break from all the toys to play with boxes!
Her new "babies" from Mommy and Daddy.
Playing with the Clipo table.
Chance liked his present, too.
4 generations! 2nd annual Christmas Day photo.
In a pretty dress and rollin' on the floor!
This chair is just perfect for checking out the tree at Nani and Papa's... 
Playing peek-a-boo over the couch with Nani.
Trying to convince Papa that she really does need a drink of whatever's in that cup.
In her jammies again ready for night-night. What a fun and blessed Christmas!
