Family Christmas Parties

At the Gastaldo party we convinced Mom to play the accordion (I’ll try to post the video).   Then the big boys helped the little boys put together the Green Eggs and Ham puzzle form Aunt Caroline & Uncle Kent.

Cori read her fairytale book from cousin Lee over and over.  She also loves dressing her Mini Mouse from Aunt Glenda and Uncle Sam.

Eli loves his pop-up book from Aunt Mary and Cori is super cool in her bird jammies from Joey and Madison and light-up shades from David and Becka.

Cori and Jana, her new doll from Grandma and Papa, are very proud of their matching outfits. In the other pic, she is trying to feel baby Isaac kick.

All of us kids got together and got my parents a cruise.  It was a bit of a mess because Dad decided to take a job and come out of retirement the day before he was supposed to leave on the cruise.  Unbeknownst to him, it through a kink in the plan, but we changed the date and hopefully they will have fun! 

I got a new basketball goal from Mom and Dad, so now I can teach these kids to ball.

As always, we enjoyed spending time with family during Christmas.  The kids were spoiled rotten by all the people that love them.  We are also grateful for the technology that allowed us to skype with the Willson’s in New Zealand and Hardgrave’s in Guam.
