cant believe its over.  it was a good day.  larry + gary came with their parents.  my two nieces were disappointed they didnt get wii fit ... that is until they opened the last gift.  my sister really tricked them.  megan wanted to leave my mothers and go home right away to play.  14 year old with no patience ... a bit like me.  ;o)

here are few favorites from yesterday.  i have come to the conclusion i want to take a class on how-to take pictures. 

first.  it was the year of the vest.  mom gave us all new down vests from lands end.
 

afterwards i got a little snuggle time with sara.  17 years old and has an independent mind of her own.  poor girl is in for a rude awakening one day.  (we were all like this at 18!)
 

then megan and gary (tyler) wanted to get in on the action.  dont you love his eyes peeking out the top of the blanket??!?
 

lastly, me with larry + gary.  i love them.
 

well, cant forget this.  larry + gary's dad being just the goofball that he is.
 

hope everyone had a pleasant and warm holiday.  i definitely enjoyed the moments we were all standing in mom's kitchen eating from the buffet spread she put out.  there was no rush to open gifts.  just sitting there relaxing, being with each other.  definitely what christmas is all about.
