THE AFTERMATH

Created By My Colonial Home

What a wonderful Christmas day we had - we had to wait for Darren and MaryAnn to get here a bit late so we all just sat around snacking and playing games which was really a fun time.



By the time they got here the little ones were beside themselves with eagerness to open their gifts - but I sure give them lots of credit for not begging!


After opening gifts and stockings we had a wonderful dinner of baked ham, mashed potatoes, corn, salad, jello and lots of desserts. A typical Christmas dinner in our house.



After dinner Jesse got his Guitar Hero hooked up and that was a fun time for everyone - I'm always so amazed at how teenagers can immediately hook something up and go at it! Camera card was full by this time so no pictures of that fun moment.



Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

    Great photos! Aiden is adorable!
    My grandkids ( 8 and 5) got Guitar Hero too - but once Daddy and Uncle Bobby got it hooked up for them.....they took it over. Poor kids didn't get to play their own game until the next day!!!
    I can't wait to see Jonah(5) play with it - my daughter said he really got into playing the guitar and had some great 'moves'. lol

    hugs

    I just found your blog and checked out your website, how inspiring! It just might have made me run right up to my sewing room and dive into the stacks of wool waiting there!
