The kids just before bed after a busy day!

We take turns each year between our parents visiting for Christmas dinner. This year we had dinner at Eric and Heather's (Mark's Mom and Dad) around 2:00pm. We were a large gang of sixteen for turkey dinner and all the fixin's - that was one big bird! Delicious! Thank you, Heather. We enjoyed the rest of the afternoon there and then headed out to Shelley and Jody's to visit the Saunders side of the family. The evening soon came, and it was time to get the worn-out boys bathed, settled down and to bed... They weren't awake long after their busy day and late night partying the night before! Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night!
