We had a holly-jolly Christmas....

Yes we did! It didn't last long enough, but then again it never does.... Miranda and James Alan arrived on the evening of the 23rd and the rest of the crew showed up on the 24th.  By the time everyone arrived, the house was looking christmasy...



The quiet before the storm.....




After the boys got here, James Alan got out the legos.  They played with the Legos for hours:


We had our big dinner on Christmas eve:



A couple of years ago I made a slide show with old Chrismtas photos that I scanned.  I've continued to add to the file.  Below everyone is watching pictures of Christmas past:

The boys "playing" Christmas carols with their arm pitts:

Setting out cookies for Santa:

Reading of the Christmas stories:




And the stockings were hung by the chimney with care....


Christmas morning and the chaos begins!


 





Jayden got a remote-controlled helicopter which landed in the overhead light.  Pop to the rescue!






I love this picture.  I bet none of Jayden's friends has a great-grandmother that can teach them how to use a Nintendo DSi!


It has definately been a "holly-jolly Christmas"!
