Kids!

Noah and Austin are spending a couple of days with us. Today Carol took them shopping and then to the movies. Tonight we drove through Tilles Park and looked at the Christmas lights. Then we played Wii, Sorry, baked and ate cookies. I'm tired!

Holiday get together #5 - too many to count

Last night we attended a party at friends house in Troy, Il. This was their annual holiday party mostly for the old van club people. It's always a fun time seeing everyone. Carol & I stayed at a hotel a couple blocks from their home so we wouldn't have to drive home in the wee hours of the morning. It works out great.

Christmas Get Together #4 ?

Another get together and once again it was very nice and again, I ate too much. This is getting to be a habit.

We had mostacholi and ham tonight.

Christmas Day

Merry Christmas

It was good to get together with the family. We had a good time, but I ate too much. The $5.00 gift exchange/steal was fun as usual. I got the best gift but I also had the highest number.

Christmas Eve

Last night we had the family over and ate lasagna and opened gifts.


The food was good and we had a great time.

Early Christmas

We had a few friends over today and of course ate too much.









Afterward we just relaxed!
