Whew, The Maddness Is Over!

We had a wonderful Christmas at our house this year. Just the 4 of us celebrated together on Christmas morning. I think Stella's favorite gift was the $3.99 pack of Princess lip glosses she got...go figure!

Playing with their new trains and train table.

My in laws and brother in law from Phoenix flew in Christmas afternoon, Stella was very excited to see Grandma!

Over the weekend we hosted the Davidson Christmas at our house. Mike's brother, Scott, and his family drove up from St. Louis. They had a great time by getting stranded in Pella due to fog on Friday night, finally making it here on Saturday after going into the ditch on the interstate due to ice. Then to top it off Scott fell on our driveway on his way to get something from their vehicle and ended up with a broken arm. I just know they are dying to come back to our house!!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite pic is Chris trying to get on the good side of his mother!! Cute! Looks like everyone had a fun time. Feel sorry for Scott and all that happened to them on this trip. Like the train table and motorcycle!!

I am so glad that you and your family had such a nice Christmas...with the exception of your brother-in-law's bad luck! When it rains, it pours! Stella and Porter will be very entertained with the train table and Porter's motorcycle is so cool!

Looks like everyone made out pretty well at Christmastime! Love the bike! Can't believe all the bad luck Scott's fam had.

Love the new motorcycle! Looks like Porter will be ruling the neighborhood now. You'll have to post a video.

That trip for Scott and Nora sounds like a nightmare. Of course, they have a small child as well. It never fails that stuff like that happens to people who have little ones. I hope his arm heals quickly.

Poor Scott and Nora! Exactly how you don't want your travels to turn out! Looks like all the kids had fun though! Cool train table!

That is terrible about Mike's brother! I guess all that happened will make it a Christmas to remember. I bet the kids love the train table - Grant's is always a big hit when kids come over. Love the bike!
