Christmas at the Carters 2009
This was the first Christmas in 38 years that it was just me and Kathy in the morning. We kinda slept in at least by our standards. We spent Christmas eve with Kathy's sister Barbara. Had a great time eating dinner and playing games. Just the 3 of us! She came over at 9:00 AM in the morning. Di and Sam also showed up about the same time. We then opened our presents and went over to Barbara's to open hers. We didn't have any more visitors until afternoon when all our local adult children and spouses dragged in. Lynda and her family were the exception. They're spending Christmas in Cedar City with Jason's family. We had dinner and the usual Carter game night well into the evening. No grand kids! That was the only downer, but Josh and Matt will be along this week so we'll get some quality play time in when they show up. Maybe even a little winter back yard camping experience! We call our tree the "black hole" because it seems to suck in more light than it gives off. I'm not so sure led lights are such a hot idea after all. I'll try to remember to add a night time picture of it. You just can't see the effect in this day time shot.
Merry Christmas to All!!!

It was definitely quieter there than last Christmas, but it was still fun!
I think the tree looks pretty but I guess you can't really see the lights in that picture. We missed being there but it sounds like you had a good Christmas.
Mom told me about the lights on the tree...it sounded quite the sight (or lack of one as the darkness overwhelms those LED lights). Funny. We missed you all too.
