Christmas 2008

The Grandkids

Marie and her Barbie

Russ and his new cars

Nana and Luke

Jordan with the video game my dad gave him (he taped toilet paper rolls to the outside so that Jordan couldn't figure out what it was)

Luke in the middle of the present chaos

Luke and I spent Christmas in Forks at Nana's (the grandma-like name my mom has dubbed herself) house. Justin and Naomi made it in Christmas eve at 3:30am! Due to the snow they were delayed several times. All of the kids were up and ready to tear apart the presents before 7am... we made them wait until coffee was made.

Then everyone bundled up and went outside to play in the snow. I think we may have invented a new sport... car sledding. We are such good examples for the kids! These types of things always start simple enough, attach a rope to a car and a sled and let the car pull you. Fun right? Well, at least with the guys, then they have to step it up: go faster, take a corner, stand-up on the board, "let's build a ramp," screw traffic! I'm sure you can see were this is going but luckily no was seriously injured.
