Christmas Past . . .

Yes folks, this is how I began my holiday season.  I was NOT in the mood to buy presents, make goodies or make merry in any way.  My family and friends bore with me and FINALLY got into the mood.  We had a nice Christmas at my parents with ALL 6 of my siblings and their families (minus one on a mission).  We had 31 people stuffed into our childhood house.  My parents are getting ready to sale the house so this was our last big get together as a family there.

My dad trying to share a story with 18 of his 19 grandchildren.

Brown opening her Santa gift.

Red with her Santa gift.

Blue and his Wii game from Santa.  SO EXCITED!!

Not too happy.  Yellow was hard to please this year!

The Christmas tree BEFORE the kids got to it.

All lined up waiting for the whistle to blow letting us know that Santa had been to the house.

Today we woke up to a lot of snow.  Green and I spent the day shoveling and snow blowing driveways.
