As far as the last few weeks of December, I really don't remember that much, until Christmas of course. Julies Mom and her husband came out for 12 days. We had a good visit, and with each day Isabelle was a little more friendly with our guests. At first, she didn't really want to look at them, and she certainly didn't want to talk to them or play with them.
We had Christmas morning up here, and we knew that with both families, and all the goods, we wouldn't have enough room in our little living room. So we rented the club house for the complex. Turns out the clubhouse is currently doubling as an office for the management, but we had enough room, and a discounted price. So if you see some file cabinets in our photos, that's why.
It's always good to get the family together for events like this. Unfortunatley, since everyone has to drive so much, there never seems to be enough time to really see each other. Unless, of course, they come and stay for 12 days. ;-)
Here are a few pictures of our excursion to get our Christmas tree. We had planned to get a Christmas card photo out of all this, but since you didn't get one from us, you can tell the photo shoot didn't go very well. At least not for a Christams card.
And then there were the presents. These kids had a great time. Jim and Judy got them a little table and chair set, which was a big hit. And then there were the bows. Yeah, all those toys, and the bows on the boxes were one of the biggest hits. The kids didn't get up too early, but they got tired anyway, with all the excitement. That's why all the pictures in the club house are a bit shy of David. Except for the one with him in Judy's arms.
