Christmas & New Years 2008

It was a fairly quiet one this year as it seemed to jump up on us out of no where. Grandma & Grandpa B didn't make the trip this year and it just wasn't the same without them.

It was Snugg's first Christmas.

Look at all the things Curtis found in his stocking! Grandpa too.

Spencer must have been good because Santa brought him the R4 he asked for.

Curtis looking to see if that is all...

Mom & Dad going to treat the family to a weekend at Great Wolf Lodge in a few weeks! YIPEE!

Grandpa trying to figure out what this could be.

Mom's turn.Who are the luckiest boys on the block...in the town...in the world?!

New Years was a 'quiet' night in with the Ellingham family. We played games and watched the new year roll in around the world on TV. We had lots of nibbly food and plenty of bevy. Curtis made it until about 11:55 at which time we were waking him up to help us ring in the new year. At 12:01 both boys were more than ready for bed. We all had fun and it was really great to be at home with the ones we care about.

Health and happiness to all and the very best in 2009!

Grandpa O's 80th Birthday Surprise?!

The kids decided to throw Dad a surprise come and go tea for his 80th by inviting friends and family in the newspaper. Unfortunately, Dad saw the invite too so it wasn't much of a surprise for him but he really seemed to enjoy connecting with everyone again! It was a great day even if it wasn't a surprise!

Curtis Turns 6!

What better way to say "Hey I'm 6 now!" than with glow-in-the-dark mini-putt!

Let the games begin!

What fun it was. Thanks everyone!
