What a great and wonderful family Christmas we all enjoyed this year!!! Phil was home, and all the grandparents plus grammy Olga were with us. Uncle Jonathan, aunt Katherine, and Katherine's family, the Waliki's (Mark, Marietta and Liz) were all here with us. What a joyful and blessed time we all enjoyed together --- thanks be to God!!
We all got too much stuff. The boys played with their gifts right away, of course: guitar hero world tour for the wii and some bionicle stuff.
Jonathan was in charge of the 12 lb. standing rib roast that we had for Christmas dinner..... a massive success!
All of our people got along very well together
During Christmas dinner, we had the English "poppers" and donned the party hats
Fellowship was great amongst all in the house
Grandaddy got the bike he asked for
Drake and Papa discuss technical aspects of Drakes bionicle space vehicle
We also enjoyed a wonderful visit from our "daughter" Riley
It would not have been Christmas at all with out a visit from her... She lives in Minneapolis
Our annual hospital santa claus "ministry" was a wonderful succes this year
Maddie was our elf again, and we encouraged quite a few precious souls with gifts, prayers and polaroid photos.
While getting in to the spirit of advent, we enjoyed some Christmas karaoke with various friends -- including Sean and the Simpsons
Grammy even hung out with us for karaoke!!!
