Christmas fun!!

We had a fantastic Christmas holiday here on Park Ave. 
The kids were full of excitement weeks before the big event. 
We enjoyed a nice relaxing weekend with Grandpa Ed, Grandma Sheila and Aunie E.



Santa's arrived!




Let the unwrapping begin! 


Cozy morning with family - coffee and sticky buns.


Yes - Lego! Can you believe it!? Bubba can't!


And more Legos...


Santa brought Ruby an American Girl - Kaya!


And her wild animal entourage.


Cool urban scooter from Grandma and Grandpa Kitty. All the kids in the city ride on these.


Yes, even the adults received gifts.


Another Hess truck to add to his growing collection. 
Notice Bubba under the tree looking to cause trouble.


Matching jammies for Ruby and Kaya.


Fuzzy hat.


Serious booty. There's Bubba...


 Fashion hat from Grandpa Jim. So stylish.


Grandpa helps Ruby open her digital recorder to use for her piano playing- what happened to ol' fashioned tape recorders? 


A "small" pastel set from Grandma and Grandpa Smith:)


A lovely dinner to end the day. Yes, Jason got his turkey. 

Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma Kitty for the sweet new camera which 
allowed us to take all these cool shots.

Last leaves to fall

The leaves on our Silver Maples are always the last to fall. When they do, there is always an impressive pile to play in. This year Griffin and Ruby spent a good part of their day raking, piling and then jumping.

Corn maze mayhem!

Dad spent part of his day herding 7 second graders through the Tucker farms  corn maze. In the end we collected all the missing map pieces and returned with all 7 second graders! Success.
