Christmas is such a busy time of the year. Families, programs, and so on. It's hard to keep up with everything. We didn't do alot of extra christmasy things, but we had a full week. It started with the freezing rain a week ago Saturday. We were out late and David went pick-up Ben in Fort Wayne. He left around midnight and it's a 1 1/2 drive one way. It was freezing rain. I told David I wouldn't sleep til they got home. I couldn't anyway because our power kept going on and off and flickering and finally stayed off. It came on around 5 am Sunday but not before the power surging fried the microwave:( Dave made it here ok, thankfully. Here are some snipets from our week
The "wonderful" freezing rain! Looked pretty though. Not fun to drive on.
Girl Scout christmas party.
I have gift wrappers now! Maybe I won't have to stay up late the night before wrapping now:)
Opening gifts with cousins!
Seeing a future marine one last time before boot camp.
Celebrating an 11th birthday! The cake was supposed to be a lego. Didn't turn out well, but was good eatin!

Enjoying Brooke's new dog, Zoey. She is adorable!
Eating was done quite often by all. There was a goody table that stayed filled all day all week! I don't want to know how much weight I gained:(
More presents with cousins. Most of the days till late at night were spent at my sister in laws house which is about 1200? square feet! There were 23 of us coming and going with 1 bathroom! Thanks to Lisa and Rob for letting us invade your house!

Nicholas's stocking stuffers and gift from Nana and Papaw.
Nan and Tyler playing legos. They are buddies. Nan loves to play anything the boys do. The only toy she requested for christmas was a nerf gun!
We added an emergancy room visit to the fun:) We were going bowling for Tylers birthday and taking all the cousins. It happened to be the day of the freezing rain. We had several fall but only one ended up at the hospital with bruises and a split chin. Kyle got 1 stitch. Needless to say, we put off bowling til the next day.
This is us crowded in Lisa's dining room. ALL 23 of us! We were packed!
We played all sorts of games.
We ate MORE food!
Opened more birthday gifts!
Posed for and took MANY pictures!

We are ending our christmas fun by taking this future marine to the airport by 6 in the morning.
We still have to have our family christmas which Tyler keep asking when it's going to happen. I told him when things slow down a little. Hope you have a Happy New Year! (those of you who finished reading this very long post:))
