Christmas Eve my kids came over to mom & dad's to celebrate. There are quite a lot of us when we all get together. Erik, Holly & crew stopped by for a little bit before heading off to Christmas Eve services where the kids were in the play.

Misty was a real trooper. She offered to take Doug's place wrapping presents since he worked on her computer the last time we were up. I like decorating packages but am not big on wrapping. Bags are my new best friend. We spent a couple hours working on the presents, chatting, catching up, etc. you know...sister stuff.

ah, what a mess

presents waiting to be moved under the tree

Cub Scout Wilbur

Okay, this time Doug found a smaller Cub Scout shirt for Wilbur to wear. This one was snug enough that he didn't pee on it. Don't he look darling? (Wilbur that is)
