Christmas

Christmas was extra exciting this year.  We had a houseful.  Uncle Todd, Aunt Sandra and Keats came down from Alaska for Christmas which was super exciting!  It was the first time they'd been down for Christmas since Keats was less than a year old.  Uncle Lloyd came up from North Carolina, Grandma D and Rufus were also here along with Dee, Dude Mimi and Pops.  Plus Uncle Lloyd brought Irie along and Keats brought his dog, Nila.  It was so much fun!  Although it would have been more fun if I hadn't had a really bad cold at Christmas.

We all had a wonderful Christmas and we're so glad that we were all able to spend it together!  It was especially fun watching the three kids play together.  They sure had a good time.
