Christmas 2010

This year, we got to spend Christmas Day at the LaPrade house, and then a couple of days later got to celebrate Christmas all over again at the Lowry house.  Double the loot!  ;) 

Logan and I had both been fighting awful head colds for about a month, but we didn’t let that get our Christmas spirit down!

My mom and Jessica put out all the cute Christmas decorations this year.  Loved the “Christmas Countdown” Santa!

Fun place settings. 
The mantle over the fireplace was all decked out. 
My mom LOVES snowmen, and this one was my favorite.  (Hard to tell in the picture, but he’s glittery.)
We had a miniature tree this year, and I loved the pearls and the bows. 

My dad, Jessica, Parker, and Logan.  (Smile, Logan!)
Ross and Jess, coming up on their 2 year wedding Anniversary in April! 

Loved getting to visit with Mamaw and Papaw, as always. 
They got a new flat screen TV!
My dad, modeling his John Lennon tribute collector’s magazine. 
Best.  Picture.  Of.  The.  Day.  Hands down.  Check out my dad in the background making fun of my mom’s obsession with the Twilight series.  He was so embarrassed when he realized I’d caught this on camera.  Mwa-ha-ha-ha. 
Mom also got a tote, handmade by Jessica’s crafty Aunt Penny. 
Dad, opening up his big gift…
A flat screen TV for the treadmill room!
Logan loves his Cowboys stuff!
I got him the George Bush book.  He was excited.    
My mom sewed me an adorable apron!  I love it!  
Jess got me a cute whiteboard to write down grocery lists in the kitchen. 
Ross got lots of X-Box games and some movies.
I got Jessica an electric wine opener. 
The LaPrades and the Lowrys.  Awwww… 
Mom and Dad.  So cute!
The LaPrade Ladies…
The LaPrade Men… plus a Lowry. 
My cute mom has been losing weight left and right, and I wanted a picture of her showing it off!  Hot mama!
Me with the fluff-ball.  :)
Toby, enjoying his new “gnaw-hides” as we call them.  Sweet boy will be 14 this April.       
The Lowry family Christmas Tree, exploding with gifts!
Boomer and Lolli, playing with Santa.  (Boomer had the nose and moustache off Santa within 20 minutes.) 
Leah got a Dremel Trio. 
The Lowrys.  :)
Christmas madness!!
Mrs. Lynn’s “Pi” Plate.  Loved it. 
I thought this tag on one of my gifts was hilarious.  “To: Lorin, From: All the Lowrys, except your husband”.   
Fuzzy toe socks!
Mr. Lowry had to go on a scavenger hunt to find his big gift – a new exercise bike!  It had been hiding in the garage and he never knew.  :)

We had a wonderful Christmas, and we hope your family did too!
