Come All Ye Faithful...

It's hard to believe this was Holden's 5th Christmas and Riley's 3rd. We tried to keep the toys in check this year, but we all had a hard time with that with so many cool toys to choose from. As always, we spent Christmas Eve with Grandma Sheila and Grandpa Steve, and spent Christmas Day opening presents, eating and cooking. It was a nice day and, in the evening, friends came over to share our feast.

Santa did indeed bring Holden his Lego Airplane. Riley got a remote-controlled airplane that flies on a rollercoaster-like track.

Mom got some surprises, too, including a Wii!
