Christmas

Love those kids...., a photo by tracyg00 on Flickr.

Christmas was fun this year. Jenny and Flip hosted Christmas Eve. Since I am typically the one behind the camera, I made a special point to get into some of these pictures this year. So, here is my tribute to myself.....



And, one with Scott:



Jake loves toys and was really excited about gifts this year. And, he was especially excited to have such a big box! This happened to be Mario Kart for Wii:



And here's our family pic from that night. I had a better option where everyone was smiling, but unfortunately it was a little out of focus. Rats.



Christmas morning was fun. Jake was excited to get Ultimate Kevin. Although, in hind sight, he sure hasn't played with that toy all that much. I hope Santa's elves didn't have to search all over the world and over-pay for a toy that is no longer made. But, I guess, that's one happy kid for that moment.



This was an American Girl Christmas for Megan. And she loves to play with that stuff regularly. This is happiness:



My dad and Ruth, Brian, Damien and Ada, and Scott came over later in the day for dinner. Megan and Jake always have a nice time playing with their cousins.



Here's Jake and Damien being boys:



All in all, a happy holiday.
