Merry Christmas
Thanks to everyone for everything you did to make this Christmas special, you were much too generous and we love everything along with each of you!
Here is a quick summary of the events. Christmas Eve, Nana, Jen and Lily went to see the Nutcracker while the boys and I played. Then we opened some presents from Nana, played, watched the Grinch and Charlie Brown and finally read twas the night before Christmas.
Then the kids went to bed and after a few trips upstairs to get them settled in again they finally went to sleep. Until……..1:15 am when they thought they would try and catch Santa. They didn’t catch him but did see that he had come already, so downstairs we went to tell them that Santa would come back to get those presents if they didn’t go back to bed. They actually went to bed and fell asleep pretty quickly, must have been relieved that they weren’t on the naughty list.
Next, Evan decided to wake up at 4:00 am, finally by 5:00 he was back asleep and at 6:15 the other kids were up. Evan wasn’t too sure about it all when we woke him up but after he saw the presents he got over it.
Enough of the story here are the pictures from Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. I am working on a video as well.

Merry Christmas! Thanks to Nana and the relatives in Oklahoma and Florida! We had a wonderful WHITE Christmas! And, thanks Ray for taking pics and getting my crazy hair in there! Miss you all!
Looks like a a wild and wonderful Christmas!!!! Thanks for getting the pictures up so quickly Ray, it is great to see them enjoying their presents. Looks like you all had a lot of fun! I love Jon’s hair in the photo with his Zhu Zhu pets And wow what a tool bench! And can’t wait to see Lily sewing and baking! Evan looks like he’s going to be a musician. Noisy toys and Art didn’t even buy them, usually we blame him. Well looking forward to the video, sure missed you all this Christmas.
Love Aunt Bev
Hi All
Thanks Ray, the pics are great! Loved the hamster trails. Can they be joined together and put a couple hamsters in there? Evan looked like he was having the time of his life. Lily and Jon, too, looked like they were having a ball. Also loved the last pic of Jen reading an instruction booklet — it kinda sums up Christmas. You’re going to have to give Jen the camera once in a while so we can see a pic of you!
Love you all. Going to watch the video now!
