A Houseful of Fun


Our Christmas fun continued with my parents and brother Michael arriving Christmas Day (thurs) night and brother Wesley and girlfriend Jen arriving Friday afternoon. We enjoyed a big Christmas dinner Friday night, and opened even more presents! Georgia showed off her present-opening skills and delighted all with her strategic "ooohs" and "ahhhs" as she opened each gift. Favorites include a remote control yellow school bus and a babydoll with carseat carrier, among many (many) more presents.

The rest of the visit has been great with lots of good eating, playing games, watching movies, bowling and laser tag outings, and some shopping. Georgia, of course, has loved the extra attention and playing with her uncles. She has been following Michael around everywhere, wanting piggy-back rides and playing hide n seek. Jen cooked for us one night and made an awesome meal of meatloaf, twice-baked potatoes and asparagus. Everyone has pitched in with taking care of the kiddos, with feedings, diapers, cooking and even laundry. It's been great, not only just for the help, but also so Larry and I could spend more time together and with everyone else.
Uncle Michael is Georgia's buddy!

Wes & Georgia- jumping! Can you see both of their feet off the ground together?!
