Wrapping up Christmas 2006

We wrapped up (no pun intended... :)) Christmas 2006 this past weekend. The weekend kicked off with family, fun, and even more presents at Grandma Carol's house. Cameron was up for the weekend, too - which was a lot of fun!

Here is a picture of the adorable pac-n-play style bed Grandma Carol made for Halle's babies...


Halle giving her baby a pacifier....

Here Brendan checks out his new bag filled with Play-doh and Play-doh accessories (Carol made the bag!) - too fun!
Meanwhile, Halle opens her new bag, also made by Grandma Carol - a diaper bag! It's SOOO cute and was filled with an extra outfit for each of her babies, bottles, socks, and a pacifier!
Here are the kids opening and enjoying their gifts.... Thanks for everything Carol!! :)

After spending the night at Carol's house, we left Saturday morning and headed to Duluth where we had a busy weekend planned. Upon arrival we headed to Grandpa Charlie and Grandma Lynn's house for dinner, and to catch up with relatives. There were, of course, more presents!

Here are a couple pictures of Kevin (Cary's cousin) and Brendan -- Kevin was so great with Brendan, and Brendan had such a blast with him.
(Thanks again, Kevin! He's been talking about you nonstop since last weekend!)

*Don't mind the chocolate face Brendan is sporting - he was partaking in a delicious brownie when I took this picture!*
Sharing a hug...

Though it's hard to believe Christmas has come and gone, and it always seems that the holiday season goes by in a flash, we were all able to enjoy Christmas to the fullest. It is always wonderful to see family and friends, and to share stories and laughs. We are so lucky to have such great family and friends - thanks for everything!
