Christmas Day 2012

We celebrated Christmas at my sister's house this year.  My Dad has sold his house since he has moved in with Emma.   I'm so glad my sister offered to be hostess.

The day was jam-packed with people, food and fun.   It was nice to gather once again as a whole family and enjoy each other's company.

John got to play Santa this year.  He did a great job!

Dad decided it would be a good idea to sit on Santa's lap.

Santa did not agree!!

Marc thought sitting next to Santa was a better idea, and so did Santa.

Anyone remember Fizzies??

It was a perfect day.  Mayhem, talking, eating, laughing, kids running around, Santa bringing lots of gifts and some special joke gifts.    It's a day filled with memories for everyone.
