A very merry Christmas

We have been celebrating well.

Family and friends have been in and out of the house...

Jason's brother came the weekend before Christmas for a most excellent visit.

Jason's parents (Yaya & Papa!) drove out the week before that and will stay through the holidays and then some!

And my parents (Mojo & Dado!) have been here since early December and I'm not convinced I am going to let them leave, either!

Then my brother and his crew showed up just in time for Santa to visit and bring all the boys exactly what they ask for...

I guess these boys must have all been very nice this year, because not only did Santa bring them what they wanted, but it took the better part of Christmas Day to open all the fabulous gifts under the tree!

sweet cousins!

Of course, we're all a little sad that the festivities are over... 

but we're still together and enjoying the snow and the new toys and plenty of good food.

So now we look forward to ringing in a new year with lots of love and laughter and hope.
