Christmas 2009

It was a great Christmas in the Ponder household. I finally was able to hang the stockings on a fireplace and had plenty of room for the 7ft tree we got.


Christmas Eve was spent with my extended family and the grandparents. Grandma used to always make chicken & dumplings on christmas but we have not had then the last couple of years. Well some of use older cousins/grandchildren decided that we would make the dumplings this year. Sarah, Charis, Ellie (Charis' daughter) and myself went over to grandma's earlier and made dumplings. I think we did a pretty good job and everyone seemed to enjoy them.


Then it was present time. This year we decided to play Let's Make a Deal, which was fun for all.

Then on Christmas day, we went over to Stan's parents house. We had a blast with the nieces and their was much fun by all. Especially when Jeff decided to put all of the cloths that he got on.


Well Santa/Stan/Mom were very good to me this Christmas. From my mom/Stan, I got a new Nikon P90. And then from my super awesome husband, I get to go on my 7 day cruise. Let me explain a bit. As Stan states, this is his way of making it up to me for the past 2 years of him working on his dissertation. So it is my x-mas, b-day, pretty much being a single wife present. So we are going on a 7 night cruise to Western Mexico over my birthday. I guess I will celebrate my birthday this year.
