Christmas 2005

We hope everyone had a great X-mas, we all did, but I must admit I'm glad it's all almost over. Our X-mas weekend started on Saturday when we went to my mom and Bill's house. We all got lots of great gifts, the boys got scooters and a soccer goal, and Alena received lots of cute toys. She also really enjoyed playing with her cousins, Job (Andrea's youngest) and Anthony (Rebecca's son). The picture shows all of them and Bill's brother Jerry, who is a professional drummer, giving them all a music lesson. They all had a lot of fun with each other and I don't think any of them cried all evening! The other pics show Brian and Anthony and Alena opening gifts.

On Christmas Day we started at Kenny's sister Charlene's house , where we had a wonderful X-mas meal and spent some time with Kenny's family, who we don't get to see very often. Everyone was happy to see the kids and Alex & Brady enjoyed playing with all their cousins on that side of the family, which is too many to count! That evening we went to Brenda's to open gifts, we all got great gifts and enjoyed spending time with everyone, including the newest addition to the family, Brian's sister's new dog Manny, who was dressed in his X-mas attire as well. We didn't get home that night until almost 1 am, so everyone slept late the next day, which was great! Only two more X-mas get togethers to go, yippee!
