Christmas #2

-2007-
Our First Christmas Together

My nephews, or I guess OUR nephews, LOVE Pat. He always comes up with fun and creative things to do with them. This time they created paper airplanes and flew them for hours.

We went to my sister's house in Syracuse, UT and we had a lot of fun playing all sorts of holidays games. For this game we had to pop balloons that were tied to our ankles. I lost right away. Pat almost won, but of course my nephew took the title.

Just the beginning of the never ending Christmas for my nephews

Of course my brother in law had to give the same gift to my sister as I did!!!

We had a white Christmas, which is always fun if you get to stay inside. As for the Pat, Jordan, and Luke they spent some time outside shoveling the sidewalks and drive way

Another Christmas activity that is becoming tradition among the original"Storm" family is the never ending present opening game. The point of the game is to get to the prize underneath layer and layer of wrapping paper. But the only problem is you have to role doubles on the dice to get the present, THEN you have to put on winter gear including mittens and try to unwrap the gift.

Grandpa Marv reading the "Christmas Story" to his two grandsons. It was hard to have them still still among all the excitement of Christmas; but i think he got through at least a few verses.
