The Days Following Christmas

As I mentioned in the previous post, my older sis, Theresa and her family came for a couple of nights while the rest of my family was here. We exchanged gifts with them and then the family enjoyed their family's new present from Christmas day...the Wii. The kids had a great time together, the gerbils enjoyed the "home" Preston made for them from two boxes, toilet paper rolls and a bunch of other cardboard boxes (ie mac-n-cheese etc). I am sickened that I didn't get a picture of his creation.

In these days following Christmas we also got the great privilege of seeing my cousin Deborah, who lives in the San Fran area, her husband Chris and his parents for a short time. (Jeff and I had a shorter time then the rest because we had a wedding to go to.) Chris's parents moved out to this area from California in these past couple of years, so Chris and Deborah came here for Christmas. It was great seeing them and seeing Deborah's "baby bump"!

Chris and Deborah...this is what we normally see...SMILES!

I did not have my camera out like I normally do so I had a much smaller selection of pictures to choose from. Sorry to all my family members who may not enjoy the pictures of themselves!
