Christmas 2014

Last night we had Christmas Eve at Lani's (Jenn's grandmother) house.  Four of the great-grandkids were there and had a great time playing with each other.

 Ten out of the fourteen grandkids were there and took a rare cousin picture:

Blair and Will were excited this morning to see what Santa had brought them (nightgowns for Blair and a train set for Will):

We started out our Halloween fun on Wednesday with Blair's first Girl Scout activity.  Her Daisy troop went to Halloween Hijinks, a fair at a local park.  The girls had a great time.

On Thursday, Will's preschool had trunk-or-treating and he helped me decorate our trunk before school.
