Christmas @ my parent's

So Christmas was over a month ago... but I still want to post these pictures. The day after Christmas we went to my parent's house to get together with that side of the family. Here's the massive tree that my dad went out and chopped down (and dragged it all the way back to his car) nearly killing himself. Ha. But he managed, and it was worth it. "Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas Tree!" Did I mention he also decorated it himself? Not bad for a male. ;)
Here's the Emster, not really wanting to be in the walker. But it was keeping her in one place during the craziness of unwrapping gifts.
That's my dad behind the huge 49ers blanket.
Kids unwrapping gifts, and immediately looking to see if there's more.
Wait, who's this guy?? And why is this being underlined? Good grief. I can't figure out why it's doing this. And I can't figure out who invited the elf, let alone who gave him a gift! ;)
Maddie, showing off a gift.
Another general picture of the festivities...
Santa's big helpers.
Dame looks pretty exhausted in this pic, Emma too.
Maddie with Auntie Joanna.
Grandpa, Noel (he was mesmerized by the talking Santa), and my sister Joanna.
And now I'm ready to start blogging the new year! Hehe.

I'm glad you don't have so much going on this month. Compared to all that's been going on with this sick family. :P But I'll have to "blog" more about that later. Ha.

We missed you all this Christmas too. I'm glad the girls and Dame got to see you though. And I got to see the pictures from that visit... I know, it's not the same. ;)
