Saw Christmas

The yearly gingerbread house. As usual, the kids had a blast decorating it (and eating lots of candy during the process).

Watching The Grinch Who Stole Christmas

Tom made a super yummy pork roast, it was so pretty i had to take a picture.

Waiting for the go ahead to come downstairs - Tom has them wait at the top, it's torture for them.

Santa brought Rapunzel hair and dress for Miss Alice

Alice's first makeup set

My folks gave Kyle his first sleeping bag - he loved it so much he wouldn't get out of it!

Playing Sponge Bob Operation - Alice was not ready for the noise/shake when she touched the side. Tears!

Kyle and Papa doing a puzzle waiting for Christmas dinner

Kyle marking his territory! Sorry Gracie, Kyle has not been the most accepting cousin. Kyle was NOT happy about Gracie taking over his high chair at Thanksgiving. Mind you, a near three year old should NOT be sitting in a highchair!

Andrew was in charge of handing out presents this year - could explain why two of my presents were opened by people other than me. :)

Mid present snack

Anna: 'I LOVE it!'. Kathy: 'That's Laura's!'

Hula Hoop or Bean Bag Toss?

Dude - Where did your clothes go?!?!?!!?

Camo Christmas

Gotta get this photo each year, Tom having to put together some crazy toy that he gets frustrated with.

Hey - Why is my toy not put together yet?!?!?!?!

On his first run, Andrew won the 'Risalamonde' - aka finding the almond in a boat load of rice pudding. Mind you, Dennis has been playing this for 60+ years, and has only won 3 times. Beginners luck!
