New years party

New Years eve was spent blowing horns, hitting the pinata, making videos, and overall fun times.

Not sure what they were watching, but they love to watch as a group.

Braxton had Tanya's video camera, this entertained they all for quite a while. Sorry Tanya, not sure what is on the camera.

The big kids were great to share with the little ones. They loved it all.

Grandpa Dave was too good on the pinata, no one landed a good hit so grandma Jill had to hit it to get it to break.

The crew....what more needs to be said?

Christmas 2009

This year my Christmas party was the day after the Stembridge party, so Aunt Peggy was able to enjoy the chaos with us this year. Glad she could come.

At the end of the Christmas party the boys took the snowmobile for a ride. They had a great time until they got stuck. The machine was buried up to the light, Paul worked hard to get it out.This year we had 4 grandmas at the Christmas party Granny Arla, Grandma Stembridge, Grandma Cindy and Grandma Jill. Even though Santa could not make it we were glad all the grandmas could.

Grandma Cindy with her grandkids and surrogate grandkids. We all love her and claim her as ours, sorry Papa Rocky had to work. It was fun as always.

Thanksgiving 2009

This year the morning of Thanksgiving the Crystal family brought pheasants down. The kids, young and old had a ball. Jayce, Cameron and Braxton

Alyssa and Wiley were waiting in anticipation. It was great fun to watch as I finished dinner.
