The Twelve Days of Christmas

From Dec 20 - Jan 1, we celebrated Christmas with our entire family. If you count from the afternoon of the 20th to the afternoon of the 1st, that's 12 days.

Holly & Dan flew out from Washington, DC and join Tim & Stef and Carolyn and I for a wonderful Christmas week. They were one of the first flights out after the major DC snowstorm on Sat the 19th.

The most common Christmas gift was Wii, and Wii enjoyed playing it.

Mike & Kallie were in Colorado for Christmas Eve, and had a great dinner in the camp dining hall. We took Holly & Dan to LAX on Saturday, then left on Sunday for Colorado, arriving there Monday afternoon.

We opened more presents on Monday night.

We spent all week enjoying being Grandparents.

On New Year's Eve all the power in the valley went out while we were playing Wii, so we played Scrabble by kerosene lamp and candlelight. We had just fixed hot drinks, so it was a pleasant surprise.

We drove home Friday and Saturday through some pretty cold weather.

Now we are trying to get ready for school tomorrow. Like we'll ever really be ready. :)
