We had a wonderful Christmas this year. For the first time in a VERY long time my brother and his wife and kids along with my whole family were together at my mom's for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
In keeping with tradition, we again constructed our yearly gingerbread house. However, this year our foundation contractors did some shotty work. The sides collapsed within about 10 minutes. The kids really didn't mind though, it just meant they got to eat it quicker!
John and Bryan stayed busy all day changing out the felt and putting new bumpers on the pool table for my parents.
Can you believe my mom didn't have candy canes on the tree yet? So of course all the grand kids had to adorn the tree with them.
Papa and Grandma both have birthdays in Dec. Moms is on the 5th and Dads is on the 16th. So we had a cake for them both, decorated by the boys with Hot Wheels cars and sprinkles. We lit the candles twice so each had an opportunity to blow them out. It is kind of a neat year, my niece Jordan turned 15 in July and mom and dad are 51 this year. So it will be the only time they both have the 1 and 5.
Blow Papa Blow!
Grandma has a lot of hot air
How sweet!
The one fivers!
As evening came upon us, we decided to go leave out food for Santa's reindeer. Why should the big man in red be the only one to get treats?
The only problem was Bryan's dog kept eating all the reindeer food. How rude! :)
I think there was a little left for them
