Christmas 2009 moments - odds and ends...and the fun

Christmas 2009 moments.
-Pre-snow warnings, snow, sleet, rain, puddles, ice, more people movement than expected - this year it was all about the weather.
-Anna's new hair - curly or straight the tough decisions.
-Pete zooming in without delays - hopefully zooming out with the same ease.
-The flat roof full of water and ice...and dripping in the house. Eileen and Pete to the rescue.
-Nancy relives 50 again...how nice and to the tune of Jiggle Bells!
-Grandma with the ultimate whoopee cushion moment....gladly no photos
-Dawit joins us again - those Ethiopians are tough and resiliant people!
-Rocio and Nacho join us from Spain - and great participants.
-Abby and Lizzy get make up kits to look their best - and want to work on the rest of us. Ben getting "hair work"......
-Katy got her first grandma car...not sure it is nearly as nice as the original GC car - 1971 Green Pontiac Catalina.
-Dan must have been flying around the world with Santa, in many ways, needed to sleep through most of the days activities.
-Kindra, Lindsay, Katy and Anna had the worlds most important texting to do late Christmas night as the rest tried to play cards as their partners...hmmmm CIA?
-Lucille MIA...a victim of the weather sadly.
-Jimbo must have found better spots to sleep this year....I didn't capture them.
-Betty keeps trying to sell her position as grandma, she doesn't look like one...hmmmm.
-If we had just had Emma to pass around would that have been enough presents for all...would Ben and Becca have lost their mind completely had we tried it.
-Eddie the king of fun and hugs...if he has had a nap.
-Pat's new song - we will all be playing it for you.
-Abby's skating video and medal - hope you didn't miss it.
-Neil, Grace and Ed calling to make sure we were celebrating at adequate levels.
-And of course at 340am Tom was good to go and ready to check out if Santa had made contact in MN for him...and do you think he waited 5, 10 or 20 minutes between each time he asked again if they could go check before he got to make a move at 7...
-Not sure any of us "slept in heavenly peace" over the holiday but lots of joy, chaos and a Merry Christmas.

A few photo moments and another test of a our evolving gifting moments - mostly fun and games. Enjoy us at our best...some pics and testing videos once again.
