Christmas Day!

Yeah! We have finally figured out how to download with our new camera. This is the aftermath of Christmas morning. The kids spent some time rummaging through their goods before we headed off in the snow to Grandma's house.
Emily with her doll that pretends to go potty on her very own toilet. I think it is just a gimmick to make parents buy batteries. Of course the doll needs batteries and so does the toilet--Go figure.
In Tyler's dream world he would spend the entire Christmas Day putting Lego sets together. By the end of the night, he did have the majority of it done. I guess Santa will have to give more challenging sets next year.
Emily showing off her new camera to cousins at Grandma's house. Unfortunately this is probably the last time it worked. Luckily the elves suggested we return it to Inkley's the next day for an exchange. We just love the "North Pole" hotline for issues with toys.
The girls are content with full bellies of pancakes, egg casserole, and home-made cinnamon rolls.
Tyler sporting his new scarf made by Grandma Grace.
After Grandma's house, it was off to Mammy's house. The presents just never seem to end. I would say we were all very spoiled. The highlight was the sack of coins to Fat Cats for the kids.
Tyler set up a chair right next to Jeff to watch him put his 5,000 piece Lego set together. Tyler found this very fascinating---Megan and Emily lasted about 1 second watching this.
After Mammy's it was off to Grandma and Grandpa's house for another party and lunch. We had a good time eating and playing with cousins before we headed back to our house for another party.
More cousins, Grandpa Tom, and Mammy came to our house for dinner and Wii games. One of the most entertaining games to watch on the Wii is "Dancing with the Stars."
Tyler even got in the action trying his hand at dancing. I think Spencer and Tyler better stick to Mario Kart. It takes a little less coordination.
Megan got right into the whole dancing thing. I think she is trying to play the maracas. Whew! An exhausting, but fun day. Good thing we slept in that morning. The parties went until late and the snow blew in just for a white Christmas.
