Playing games with dad!!!

Ruth had bought 'Sports Scene it' for me for Christmas so Dad and I decided to play it. Did not go so well for me. lol

dad getting one of 'The Buzz' cards.

the game board.


you can see my piece still just a few squares in and dads almost halfway. Ugh! not a good sign.

ha yeah, don't rub it in. This from the guy who does not like all the "showboating" the pro's do. lol

Here he is with his game piece (baseball mitt). And yes, he won in a landslide.

Christmas Day!

2009

I had to work on Christmas. When I got home the afternoon was spent with mom and dad. We had a nice quiet Christmas.

Mom and Dad opening their goody bags.

Mom with an alarm clock from Evan. He had left it under the tree.



Dad with a notebook and measuring tape from the grand kids. Left under the tree also.

Me with the mini lava lamp from the boys.

Mom with her Grandmother Bible

Her digital photo frame, that she loves.

purse, with something inside.

this was what was inside

New blouse.

Dad opening his present that was all clothes.

Now for the fashion show. Which I might add was all HIS idea. Course I don't think he realized I would be taking pictures and posting them on-line. he he!!

Hope you all had a great Christmas and that you have a Happy New Year!!!!

( this picture is to prove that I WAS there.)

Merry Christmas!!!!

We celebrated Christmas with Ruth, Ethan, Evan, Easton and Rodney on Saturday. They are on their way to Arizona for Christmas, so we wanted to have it before they left. Here are some pictures from then.

The tree in all its glory

the tree in the light

the boys "stockings"

If you can't tell their stockings are actually new lunch bags for school

the boys waiting. They did not know we were going to be having "Christmas", so they were excited to say the least.

poor kids, still waiting.

Evan, loving the chocolate

Easton checking out the stash from his bag.

Ethan getting ready to dig in.

checking everything out.

I had tried getting little things that they could use for their long trip out west.

Easton showing the gift he got Gamma. He was so excited to give his gifts.

He wanted to do them first. What a cutey.

Opening Evans gift. Not sure why Easton was the one I got in the picture. lol

Opening her gift from Ethan

Easton giving his gift to Papa.

Dad with his gift from Evan.

When dad opened his gift he told Evan how much he could use it. I guess the first gift Evan picked out for grandpa didn't work or broke or something and he was very upset about it, he felt very bad. The thing is dad did not even know about this being a replacement gift when he told Evan that it was a good gift.
