CHRISTMAS 2011

3 Cats And A Mice


Nope, this isn't our house!  Wish it was, but the old grey mares just ain't what they used to be when it comes to outside decorating.  We managed to get a few up in the backyard and a small amount in the front.  This was taken when we took Zane out one night to look at Christmas lights, which he loves. 





Taken on a boat ride around the lake.

JJ and Zane came over early on Christmas Eve and Papa read them the Christmas story from the bible.  

It was on to running through the snow, anything to take up the time before they got to open presents!

A little Christmas Eve dinner.  The boys were getting more antsy.  LETS OPEN PRESENTS!!!!
Grammy and Benny!
Anymore Chow Mein????

Time for Santa hats!  That lasted less than a minute!
OK, here are the presents, START OPENING!

Gentlemen, START YOUR ENGINES....GO!!!!!
Oh goodie, something for me to hit other than my brother!

Yea, an art set for the budding artist!

Look mom, a game!!!!
Benny is overseeing the festivities!

Alex opens his "duel" blanket that Nana made.  One side is Arizona Cardinals, the other side is his beloved Buffalo Bills!

And for their last present, they had to go on a treasure hunt with clues.  They are reading their first clue here.

Uncle Jeff is helping J.J. read his clue....

Papa, Benny and Frosty are watching JJ and Zane run from clue to clue.

What do you mean it's in the BBQ?
Ah ha, I found it!!!

Time for a smooch!

Jeff, my clue is in the mailbox!

Got it!!!!
Look at those handsome guys in the mirror, wave to them!!!

I'm serious Jeff, I want to find that present!!!!

I'm gettin closer!!!

This is the last clue...whew!

Wait Jeff, I can read it myself!  (NOT!)

Yea, I found it in Nana and Papas TV cabinet!
Just what every 11 yr. old boy wants...a video game!
Zane and JJ playing "Whack-a-mole".  JJ calls it Whackamole....you know, it rhymes with Guacamole!

Good boy Jeff, cleaning up all the paper and bows!

Time to go home, Uncle Jeff carries a sleeping Benny to the car.

Jesus is the reason for the season!
