Feliz Navidad (Can you tell I've been watching too much Dora?)

Before I post any pictures, I'd like to pose the following question to those Mommies of toddlers who had the pleasure of watching (over and over) The Dora Christmas Special--Why is it that Santa only wants Swiper to stop swiping on Christmas?  Does this mean that it is okay for him to be a thief the other 364 days of the year?  Just wondering...



Gigi and the Johnson and Phillips grandkids at the GCC Christmas Dinner/ Natalie's birthday dinner extravaganza.  Henry did not want to be in the picture.  Can you tell?  (Kiddos--William (13), Natalie (6), Henry (2), Grace (2 months), Caroline (8), and Sarah Grace (11). )

Little Chef Henry washing potatoes. 
It was a bit like being at Sea World.  There was a pretty large "splash zone".


One of my favorite pics of the entire holiday, just wish I'd taken the strap off Gracie's passy so she didn't look so odd.  Please note the hand in the bottom left hand corner.  It is my brother's.  And it is the only reason Henry is smiling.

The original Gracie carrying the littlest Gracie down the stairs to see if Santa left anything...


Santa did not dispoint Henry.  We can now reenact the entire movie Cars and Henry has taken to chasing people around with Frank the tractor while mooing.


On the 26th, we headed down to Charlotte to spend the night at Sloan's brother's house.  Bo (7) is letting me train to be a Jedi.  It may be one of the dorkier things I've ever done.  You put this headset on then stare at a ball while Yoda talks to you.  If you relax, you can use the force the raise the ball up the tube.  Only Marshall and I have completed the Jedi training.  Whatever that means. 

Gigi (3) in her Zhou Zhou pet ball hat (she and Henry each wore half of the ball for most of the evening) holding Grace.

Holly and Marshall's 1 yr old horse Great Dane, Dunkin, loved Grace.  Every time she made a peep, he checked on her.  He even protected her from Full Throttle (Henry).
