Christmas with Tony's Dad's side on the 26th.

On the 26th, it was Tony's Dad's turn for Christmas and the kids were looking forward to seeing their cousins again (having just said goodbye to them the night before). We enjoyed appetizers and cocktails while the kids played games inside and played on the ice outside. Again, it was warm enough for there to be a sheen of water on the ice and we saw some ice houses coming OFF the lake. We didn't bring their skates so they just scooted on boots and played with a sail trying to catch the wind. Some of the boys shot the puck around and it was good to get some energy out of their systems! Later, we had an Italian dinner and our present opening. Heaven help us, the kids got a cotton candy machine! Maybe we'll break it out at our neighbors house on New Years! :) Before leaving town, we had to see the much-talked-about light display and we were not disappointed! It was spectacular!

We learned something new and disturbing about Raina, she is double-jointed in her toes. Gross!

Mama's new scarf and gloves.

Taye's new outfit. She insists on putting everything on right away...

Me and my girl.

Cotton Candy!
