What a great..........

What a great surprise, our daughter and daughters-in-law really surprised us by getting all 5 of the grandchildren together for a group photo session. Trying to get all five smile at the same time I am sure was a task, especially since two of them are infants. But they were great pictures and much appreciated. Starting clockwise is Charlotte 3, Cara 5 months. Vincent 5, Oscar 8 months, and Dillon7.

....Stockings were hung.....

And the stockings were hung by the chimney with care. Awaiting the children and granchildren to come on Christmas Eve.

Shopping with Vincent and Charlotte

Grandpa and Grandma took Vincent and Charlotte to Walmart. In the car when Vincent was asked what was he going to get at Walmart, he replied "Anything I want!". Well all he wanted was the Superman figure that he is holding in the picture. Charlotte got a bicyle helmet and while in the store she put the helmet on while it was still in the box. After we got back to the house she put the helment on with the elbow pads and knee pads and rode her new orange bike! Her favorite things is the knee pads! she didn't even want to take them off when she had a take a bath!
