Christmas and December Update... Sans Photos

There will be no posts with photos for a while because our camera died halfway through dinner at Medieval Times last week. What a bummer! We did get a few pics of the kids and the show but can't get them off the camera without a trip to CVS to burn a disc from the memory card. Fortunately, Grandma Kate left her camera on Christmas Eve so we got some shots of Christmas morning and Kevin was able to borrow his brother's video camera. Those shots are still in their respective cameras though and may or may not make it onto the blog.

Dinner as lords and ladies (actually lords and one lady) was fun. Kevin received tickets from his former employer last year and we waited until they were about to expire before using them... nothing like sliding in last minute! Funny because that seems to be the theme for me this holiday. It didn't seem to matter how disorganized I felt, however, because Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas morning were really very nice. We had both Grandmas with spouses, Uncle Chris and Cori. The best of Christmas is having the family together.

The boys, as always, were the recipients of a lot of great stuff! We'll be lucky if nothing gets broken this year- bones or valuables. Between flying monkeys, a pogo stick, stilts, golf clubs and rip-sticks the boys will certainly be active. Sully has almost mastered the rip-stick and as of last report, Nathan bounced 68 bounces on his pogo stick. Not only did the boys enjoy their gifts but almost every adult had a go. I found that I was not meant to be a stilt walker but I can almost pogo stick and Kevin hasn't hurt himself on the rip-stick yet.

Hopefully our camera-less days are limited and I'll be back to posting pictures sometime soon but for now, you'll just have to suffer through some ?short? written updates.
