What's better on a cold day than a friend to warm your heart
and a cup of cocoa to warm your belly?

Christmas ~ Round Three

We trekked to Garnett on the evening of Christmas Eve to spend time
at Darren's parents home with his sisters, brothers, spouses and kids.

Since Drew is the smallest grandchild (for now) he opened the first gift.

Surprise! Santa had already arrived on Christmas Eve morning.

And what do you want for Christmas? PS3 Move

What do you boys want? Drew said he wanted a diamond basketball
(we think meant a b-ball goal), but Santa thought he said a diamond.
Santa looked at him strange and probably thought he was telling
what Mom wanted for Christmas.Brady wants Legos!

My Boys!
