Mom is all ready for everyone to arrive! Isn't she looking amazing?

And boy oh boy did we ever have a house full of people! There were kids running and screaming everywhere! It was a fantastic sight!

Then, with a sudden burst through the door, we realized that we had a very special surprise visitor! Santa made a special stop just for us!!!










Walter had been driving Kolby insane for the last week telling him that he was going to give Santa a LONG list of all the BAD things Kolby has done over the past year. Particularly, beating up Walter. Oh, the horror Kolby thought as he would yell at Walter to "stop it!" So, it was no surprise that when Walter told Santa that he needed to talk to him about Kolby, that Kolby freaked out just a little bit. The funniest part though, was Walter poking at Kolby trying to get Kolby to hit or kick him and watching Kolby desperately try to be on his very best behavior! Tehehehe. Of course, Walter ended up getting what was coming to him!





Here's where the fun and games REALLY began!













And of course, we just HAD to play with all of the kid's new toys! A little Dance, Dance Revolution anyone? Or how about a little coloring time? Who would have thought, that would have been Michael's choice in toys? Thehehee




Walter is famous for buying gifts for the little ones that make the parents cringe and hold a grudge for a long, long time. This year it was Mark and Debbie's turn when Walter bought Sam and Gabe a complete 6 piece musical set. Of course, Spencer wants to know where his is now! Watch out Kim, I think you are next!!!!

Look what I got mom! And notice the ghost that came for a visit too! *grins*

Michael has issues apparently and was trying his best to not get caught with a gun in his hands! *laughs*

Oops, busted though!

Grace (known to some as Sierra) decided that Care Bear needed to be seated with the pies. So, she made us move one off the top of the rack so that it had the PERFECT place to sit and hang out!


Spencer had enough apparently and of course, seeing as how I love to hear baby's cry, I just HAD to have this picture! Cry Spencer, Cry!!!!

Michael is the resident expert on building summer sausage cracker stackers! Here he is giving everyone a lesson!

Of course, Michael thinks that he is the resident expert on everything. No telling what he is trying to school Blake on here! Probably trying to figure out one of the toys that the kid's got! Tehehehe

After leaving mom's house at 5 this evening, Zoe joined Sara and her family at the mall. Apparently, they spent all of their time in the JcPenney dressing room taking pictures of themselves! Figures right? *grins*









Oh, but that wasn't nearly enough pictures.....then Zoe had to come home and take a few more just to complete the collection!


Jeff's favorite one is the orange one. Tehehehe. I must say that I rather like that one too!
The rest of the night will be finished off with a little Star Wars, Phantom Menace! WAHOO!
What a perfect day, we couldn't have asked for much more.....other than the rest of our families having been with us! We miss you all and hope that you had as spectacular a day as we had.
Oh yes, and a HUGE congratulations to both Sara and Eric on the announcement of their pregnancy. Jeff is bouncing off the walls already! |
