Merry Christmas

We all get together at Grandma and Papa's house for Christmas.



Aren't digital cameras great - nothing like being able to see your picture right after you've taken it:




Everyone got their tripods out to take some group photos. I can set my camera up to delay 10 seconds and then take a bunch of pictures in a row. It was like the paparazzi were there with all the flashes going off from all the cameras. First we got just the grandkids


Then we added Grandma and Papa.


Then the moms and dads jumped in.


Hope you had a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!

Decorating the Tree

We had our Christmas tree up for two weeks before we finally got some time to decorate it. Having two kids in hockey really eats up our evenings, someone always has practice it seems. And then there were two band concerts to attend. And hockey games on the weekend. I thought we picked out a really nice tree this year. It had a great shape and lots of branches for ornaments.


First I put on the lights and garland. Can you see my helper behind the tree?


Then the kids help me with the ornaments. And then you just add presents and you're done!
