holiday wrap-up

the holiday season was wonderful.   christmas this year was a home-run!  santa came (did he ever!), we enjoyed time with family and friends, lots of good food and drink, and no tears this year (except the happy ones from me of course!)

here is the photo wrap-up.......we made our annual cookies for santa with our best friends jack, mel and lani.   

    .....and good thing we did because he brought the kids a trampoline!!(some assembly required)  

   other favorite gifts were riley's new bow and arrow and a couple of remote control helicopters too!! 

.....as if that wasn't enough they both got new mini-tablets from papa and nana!

.....noses were then buried and we mostly saw the tops of their heads the rest of the day (their cousin ella got one from santa too). 

   don't fear, they managed to put down the tablets long enough to open more presents...some great notepads and new soccer balls from momo and grandpa george!  

 

then grandpa george drove the kids over to my aunt and uncle's house in the golf cart (she just lives down the street from my mom now) to celebrate with the rest of the campbell clan. 

    the hughes boys got themselves some new bearded viking hats....good times! 

and boxing day was all about playing with our new toys...   

and jumping on the trampoline of course!! 

hope your holidays were full of fun and cheer as well!!
