The boys have to wait upstairs until we are ready for them, and until we have had our traditional Christmas dance.
Ben made this beautiful lighthouse in art class. I have to return it Monday so that his teacher can put it in the Fine Arts Festival in April.
Rock Band was a fun gift this Christmas. It's harder than it looks!
Abbey tries out her new giggle mask.
Peter found his name on Santa's list at the train display.
Part of the amazing train display. This is the circus/amusement park.
This is the snow village, part of the display.
My parents, my brother Todd's family, and us at the Roselawn Bed and Breakfast in Keysville.
More photo ops at Roselawn.Christmas has come and gone again. It was a good week with minimal expectations and lots of excitement. Everyone enjoyed Christmas day very much. Then we headed to the Henry's for another Christmas on Friday. We spent Friday through Sunday with my family. Dad took us to see the amazing train layouts in Blackstone at the hardware store. We rushed back so that Fred could attend a birthday party Sunday evening at Joe's Crab Shack, and then make it to basketball practice Monday at noon. We got a call from the coach at 12:20 saying Fred sprained his ankle so we should come get him. It isn't broken, thankfully, but he can't jump for 2 weeks. He is actually putting weight on it today and wants to head to the store to spend his Christmas gifts. HMMMM. I guess it isn't too bad.

Poor Fred! He just might find a sprained ankle takes about as long to really heal as does a broken one. Hope his heals faster! Nice family pictures. Your parents really look good, too. Happy New Year to all of you.
Paula,
I remember you and your brothers sitting at the top of our steps on Christmas morning, waiting for the signal to run downstairs and dig into your stockings and then the presents!
I remember all the wrapping paper flying all over the house, and we were practically buried in it. Those are great memories that I will keep forever.
It is hard to believe that our grandchildren are now making memories for you and Chris.
The pictures you took of all of us while you were down here are so great. Wish the other 5 members of our family could have been here to celebrate with us.
Love, Mom and Dad
Wow! That train set looks fabulous! I know our boys would have been fascinated as well. Too bad you had to give back your gift to the school, but congratulations to Ben for making such a beautiful lighthouse that it needs to go back to the Fine Arts Festival!
Great pictures of your family! You look wonderfully happy ... probably because the minimal expectations made it so much more pleasurable, right? :)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Looks like Christmas was great! Do you have a Wii? If so, I believe our children can play each other online...
