Happy Holidays (a little late)

We had a wonderful Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year. We spent several days over in Bremerton around Christmas, so we got to see lots of people! It was fun to stay at Gram and Grandpa's; Dillon had a fun time trying to get into everything. He did a great job not bothering our tree or Gram's. He would point and gently touch ornaments, but everything stayed on the tree; I'm guessing next Christmas will be very different!

We went to the annual Makins' Christmas party. There were lots of kids there this year and Dillon made a new girl - friend, Clarie Gargani. She is Joelle's best friend's (Brooke) niece. They had a great time making funny faces at each other.



It's really a sign of love.....



We also went over to the Hoem's house for a bit to spend time with everyone. While we were there, Brooke's cousin and her family stopped by...more little kids. Gram was holding Helen's daughter for a bit and Dillon was not happy at all! He wanted her to give the baby to someone else, her lap is for Dillon only apparently. We went to dinner later with the Hoem's and I was holding Claire, again Dillon as not too happy. At least I know he likes me!

Great Grandma Wolfer, Great Uncle Jim, and Great Aunt Bonnie came over for Christmas eve dinner. It was a wonderful time and we even got to give Great Grandma Wolfer a gift this year, a new T.V. She moved into a new house a few months ago and has had the same T.V. for many, many years, so she was due for a new one. Now she'll be able to watch Mariners' games in HD!




Christmas morning was so much fun! Dillon came downstairs and went right for his stocking and started pulling stuff out....until something got stuck and it was on to something else. Dillon helped everyone empty their stockings and open their presents. It was a great day and we all got wonderful presents. And it snowed!!! When we came back home we opened more stockings and presents!
