Christmas time!

Some of you have been bugging me for a post… geeze, can’t a gal feel like crap and be a couch potato too lazy to even update her blog?

Well, in that case, here are a few pics: 

First thing Christmas morning at our house (5 am).

At grandma and grandpa’s around 6!

One of his very favorite presents-two 1/2 pound Reese’s.

Cousins

Up at the Shattuck’s in the afternoon.  Joseph did an excellent job handing presents out!

Opening a very special checkers board made by Grandpa Bob.

Reading to Bob.

And who managed to get him to set quietly for over half an hour?  Only great-gram could do such a thing.

Making faces and very into my card game

Lots of spoons action.  Troy is my partner in crime drumming up games for everyone to play! 

Cards in the morning.

And then some skating with Cousin Troy.

And then watching Troy in a pickup game.

More pics and updates to come . . . . we have a lot going on around here!
