Christmas at Grandma's, 2010

Christmas with the Herman clan was back in Hickory this year, after having spent last year's Christmas at the beach. What a difference in the weather! Last year at the beach, we were in light jackets walking in the sand admiring the ocean; this year in Hickory, we were inside watching it snow all day, finally ending with about 7 inches on the ground the next morning!

But we were snug and cozy in Grandma's house Christmas afternoon/evening (having our traditional Domino's Pizza for dinner). Early Sunday afternoon, Doug, Jennifer, Luke, and Rod arrived and, following the girls' naps, we quickly moved to the living room for present time!

As you'll see from these pictures, Macie was in a convenient spot for me to catch her with my camera. Ivie was sitting right next to me, and I was too lazy to get up to get better shots, so I didn't get many of her!

As always, Grandma had lots of thoughtful presents for each of us. It was another great family Christmas celebration!
