Christmas with Jeannette's Family

This year was to be Christmas with "my" family because we spent Thanksgiving with Jeannette's side of the family, but on the way to the Muntz celebration, we made a quick stop in Albany last week and stuffed Christmas into about 90 minutes before everyone went their separate ways. We gathered at Paul and Wanda's house, cramming about 15 of us into their living room.

For historical purposes, let the record show that the following is a picture of MelodyJoy opening her very first Christmas gift ever. She caught on quickly to unwrapping gifts but also was surprisingly good about not opening up other people's gifts when she spotted them under the tree. (I think she only unwrapped one and tried to start on one more.)


Grandpa Phil and Grandma Deb sent tins from Wisconsin for everyone, each with an ornament and, ahem, cash . . .

Grammie Joyce thought that we needed a way of burning off energy so she gave the boys and me two sets of Nerf guns and darts. The boys had a lot of fun playing with them over the subsequent few days . . .

The four angels: Bailey, Madison, Melody and Alexia . . .
