a belated Merry Christmas!! Just a quick post... we ventured out to my parents in Nebraska for Christmas this year (we will get to the plane rides in another post.. but needless to say - we shant be doing any more traveling for at least another 4 years!) My older brother and his family stayed Christmas Eve with us as well so there were a total of 16 people that needed to have spots for christmas in the living room! Here is a picture on Christmas Eve that I took....
it all worked out and it was really great being all together! On christmas day both my younger brother and his family and my little sister and her husband joined us so it was quite the full house! We sang songs
and had a talent show which inevitably resulted in a RockBand concert! Us girls decided to form our own girlband and it was quite the sight for the boys to see their grandma rocking out on the guitar! (and yes... we sacrificed packing clothing so we could fit the whole set up of Rockband into our suitcase!!!) -- oh and don't mind all of the background paraphenalia in the photo - my dad is a HUGE Civil War/Revolutional War/Mormon Battlaion re-enactor and their entire basement is his *museum* ;) That's my SIL on the drums and Johnny kicking it back on the couch. We haven't all been together in several years and it has really been a treat for us all to hang out!

Wow, that's a lot of gifts. I am glad you are having such a great time with your family.
Looks like you had a great time, but I know what you mean about traveling at Christmas time. We don't do it anymore because traveling at that time with that many kids is such an event! I love the shot of the living room on Christmas morning, it looks like Santa's workshop! Wow!!!
Oh please, I need email addresses for your bros & sis so I can send them my belated xmas letter. Please email me when you have the time! Love ya! Tell them all hi in Nebraskee!
Well that explains why when I went to your house to deliver you some goodies, you were not home;) It looks like you had a fun time. I am glad you got to go see your family. Can't wait to hear about the plane ride.
