Christmas 2008

Christmas with grandkids is almost as much fun as Christmas as a child.  Carol, Melanie, and I went to Jonny and Kimberly's early Christmas morning.  We actually got there before Evan and Seth were up.  It was nice to talk with Jonny and Kimberly but, when the boys woke up, the fun intensified.  A bike Jonny and Kimberly got for Evan was sitting in plain sight, and Evan jumped on it. Seth likes the bike too, photo to right. Emma, their cousin in North Carolina, got Seth the monkey in the top picture.  The three boys posed for a great photo, all wearing identical pajamas, in picture above.

The boys slept under the tree on December 23.  Next day, we all rested up and enjoyed each other.  Above, Melanie and Evan.

One of our family traditions is letting the kids sleep under the Christmas tree the night before Christmas eve.  Melanie came home from Nevada, Jonny & Kimberly and boys came over, and some great friends, the Oenings visited.  Their daughter, Jamie, her husband and kids were here too.  We had a great time.  Jamie brought a video game, Rock Star, that had us playing drums and guitars.  We ate, played games, ate some more.  Then Melanie, Evan, and Seth slept under the tree.  Photos.
