Christmas 2007

Christmas is one of the times when I really feel the size of our family, and I love it!! Additionally, I truly feel blessed! Tim's dad always comes over. Every year Christmas morning means a 'Lumberjack' breakfast. (Tim named it 'Lumberjack') Lumberjack breakfast means BIG breakfast. We have bacon, sausage, eggs, pancakes, banana stuffed french toast, home-made biscuits, gravy, orange juice, milk, and coffee.

**** Programing Note: JoAnn actually makes the home-made biscuits! I told you I do cook sometimes!

We always have this big breakfast before we open any presents. This year Tim's dad, Bryan, Angela, Jeseika, Michael, Joshua, Lillian, Tim and I had Christmas morning together.
Bryan, our oldest, always looks forward to the banana stuffed french toast. Tim makes it with french bread cut a couple of inches thick so he can cut a pocket in the middle to stuff with bananas.
Angela, our daughter-in-law, and Jeseika, our granddaughter always get Tim's pancakes.
Michael, our 2nd child, doesn't like eggs, but tried the french toast this year and loved it.
Joshua, our 3rd, always pigs out on biscuits and gravy.
Lillian, our 4th, eats like her daddy and has a plate full of each combination.

Then we opened presents:



Here is Bryan opening presents. Yes, even grown kids still love opening Christmas presents!









Michael is wearing AND opening Christmas presents!







Joshua and Grandpa Irminger ready for Christmas loot!






Lilly is so happy she began to cry!

Angela is an awesome daughter-in-law. I could have never dreamed my son could find such a great wife. She is also a fabulous mother! So we worked in some wonderful Christmas magic for her!

In this picture, Angela was 8-1/2 months pregnant with Angelina.


Angela and Jeseika are marveling over Angela's new mixer! Isn't Jeseika just the cutest 3 yr old ever in recorded history!!! Her hair is beautiful, and she is so smart. Oh wait, I was doing a Christmas blog not a Jeseika is wonderful blog. oops!




Jeseika looks alot like her mother, but she smiles like her dadddy!

She also has her daddy's nose and hair. Angela does such a wonderful job with her hair. Of course, Angela is such a wonderful mother.
