Christmas was wonderful! Jason, Kristina, Noah & Julia arrived December 23rd. Shad, Becky, Sophie, & Lillie joined us for dinner at Ocean Sky Chinese restaurant. We had a great time, but everyone was too busy eating and keeping track of the kids to take any pictures. There was a big lazy Susan in the center of the table with enough dishes so everyone found something to like. Noah, Julia, and Lillie do pretty well feeding themselves, but we left a big tip to make up for the rice and noodles that landed on the floor. We did take some pictures of the walk before dinner to help drain a little of the kids’ excess energy.

The next morning Shad and Jason went out to Tee’s to install some upgrades to her computer as a Christmas present, while Kristina, Becky and I took the kids to Amazon Park.

After swings and the play structure, stomping in puddles became the activity of choice, which was great until they headed to the biggest puddle around and Noah and Julia were quickly in over the tops of their boots. Scooping up wet, cold kids and getting them back to a warm house and dry clothes precluded more pictures.

We dressed up for Christmas Eve dinner. The best pictures were taken by Tee, whose usual photo subjects are horses, birds, insects, wildlife, and inanimate objects. http:mts-arabians.com

My pictures were more random and haphazard.

Shad, Becky, Sophie and Lillie went home to their own house so Santa could come, but Jason, Kristina, Noah and Julia stayed with us.
