So here are the very very late Christmas pictures. My sister and her kids visited for the Christmas holiday and it was fun to see all the kids playing together. Addy and her cousin, loved playing with the playdough...they played for over an hour. And the last picture is how Zach is most of the time...minus the snowman pipe. As he has entered teenhood he seems to have forgotten how to put on a shirt. :) I think he likes showing off his swimming muscles.
We tried to key down gifts this year, but it is nearly impossible to do. They each got one Santa gift and a book. Then they got a small toy and some crayons with a little candy in their stocking. And then some more toys and clothes from grandparents. We've been trying to figure out how to keep the entitlement syndrome away. I guess if we keep trying the eventually we will succeed. Right?
