This Christmas was the perfect amount of everything! I really enjoyed spending time with my boys, and seeing family here and there. When the kids are not in school they get to watch movies at night and play later than usual. I thought the boys were playing, when I went in to check on them this is what I found - asleep in the clothes baskets. We did have to move them to
their beds because I was afraid Van's head was going to pop off, and Finn might have major
crampage in the morning. Cute brothers
Finn testing out some pilot gear at Jeff and Carolina's.
On Christmas Eve morning we get together with my mom and Steve to celebrate. The kids were so excited to be together, and of
course to be spoiled by Grandma and Steve.
Here we are, checking out/opening what Santa brought for the kids.
A tradition lost then found. We each create a gingerbread house, I think we think it is a competition, but then they are all to good to decide - what do you think? Here is Van's house
Shannon and Kim's creation, inspired by
Phobee's doll house on Friends.
Kevin's house.
Finn's house, mostly made for eating not to look at.
Aaron - architectural mastermind.
As a farewell gathering before the cousins left, we went to Chuck E. Cheese - always a good time.
Finn rode this little ride over and over and over again. The ride would take a picture of you and print out a black and white photo for the rider. I think we had 10-15 photos by the time we were done.

Ah--I was hoping Aaron had done a house! I love the Phoebe one, though!
Hope its ok if I stalk your blog once in awhile!
Glad we could be a part of your Christmas. How was the penne rustica?
Kim: Thanks for the new blog entries, those pics were great. Guess Shaz Braz didn't pay close enough attention since you DID show Aaron's house creation! I was partial to the one you and Shan did. It was great having everyone at the house so much at Christmas. Thanks for being willing to sleep wherever. See you guys for Aaron's birthday tomorrow. Give him a big hug and kiss for me when he gets up tomorrow- thanks
