Christmas

This was our year to travel "home" for Christmas.  The boys asked daily for two weeks if we were going that day.  Finally, the day arrived...

All six grandchildren in one house.  All dressed as Santa.  What fun!!  Don't believe Ryan's face... he had a great time. You can't help but smile looking at Owen.  He is at a great age.

Here we all are.

This isn't a great picture, but I had to include it just to show Ryan's face.  This is THE face!!  Can you hear the hissing??  Yes, we are in big trouble in a few years.  He is quite the strong willed boy.  

I think the tree looked pretty good with gifts for more than a dozen people.

Each boy got that one perfect gift this year.

Pure joy.

The aftermath.

My memory of Christmas 2012 will be this...

Grandpa playing the accordian with Ava.  Very cool.  Hopefully that will become a tradition.
