One Last Stop for Christmas

Ok, I was wrong, that wasn't the last Christmas post! The Monday after Christmas we took it easy all morning; we played with lots of new toys, sorted through packages, and (Mommy) did some laundry while relaxing with GraGra and Papa Greg. After a much needed nap we took one last trip over to Grammy and Papa Frank's house for our annual Christmas with the Keisters (Kristmas with the Keisters????).

Of course, Colin was ECSTATIC to be finally be playing with his best buddy JOE! As soon as we walked in the door he said, "Is Joe here???" And, he soon was! Gillian was quite taken with Joe this time too! They played so nicely (and quietly) back in the bedrooms and gave Mommy and Daddy a chance to visit with Mommy's friend Holly, her husband Deepak, and their gorgeous little girl, Anushka. Due to all this visiting, not many pictures were taken though!

After some hoagies and pizza and 14 desserts, we opened our LAST round of presents (I think this takes us to 6, maybe?).

Those mini-Pillow Pets from Mr. and Mrs. Clark were (and still are) a huge hit!

Jessie Bean enjoying her ginger animal and tea. Mmmmm.

Umm, Papa was drinking something that wasn't tea....

A nice, mostly calm evening with some of our favorite people. Thanks so much Mrs. Kathy, Tim, Jessie Bean, and Joe for loving us so much! The feelings are mutual!

A very nice ending to our holiday! It was straight home after breakfast in the morning and back into some sort of routine! Only with a lot of new toys!
