The holiday season kicked off with laughter and green grass. After some cold in the late fall the recent temps have been too mild for any lingering snow and with Christmas fast approaching we are hopeful for enough fluff to play in. We made the made dash out of GB on Friday afternoon, cramming pizza into our mouths and heading out into a three and half hour dark tunnel before arriving to a housefull of festive spirits and holiday smells. There were hugs and laughs and everyone stayed up late enough for the day to feel like two. Saturday morning was time to bowl, the teams had been hacked out the night before with much consideration. Judy and Daryll came out with Santa cookies to share and Karen was close in tow. The kids were in and out of the house, continuing with some woodland version of cops and robbers. We spent some time in at Action city, and Merrick thought he lost his playing card after our first round of Lazer tag....he found it later and said it was just really far down in his pants. Minus one for swipe cards. A little ice cream snack before heading back for a wonderfull ham dinner and a naps for a few. The gifts were open, but not at blazing speed and there were plenty of smiles to go around. Sunday, Irene stopped out to say hello and had a parade of kids to walk her back to the car, a full platoon of whiffle-ball batted knights in various intergalactic battles to defend her should the need arise. The ride home was noneventful and the little ones napped. Amy had enough energy to even help the kids build gingerbread houses when we got home. They don't look exactly like the ones on the box, but they kids sure enjoyed it!
