Dancin' Fools!!

Our family xmas gift this year was Just Dance 4 Wii and we had WAY too much fun playing it!!

Oden was hooked on Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give U Up and Ricky Martin's Living La Vida Loca:

Daddy's pick was They Might Be Giants' Constantinople:

Even Grandma Rowley got in on the action!

Christmas Day

The kids started our day at FIVE in the morning!!

Sweetest Thing

While cuddling with Oden and nestling her head on his shoulder, Juliet said in her sweet sing-songy voice, "Oden, you make me so happy." It was matter-of-fact innocent truthful sweetness. She is most certainly made of sugar!!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was met with much anticipation this year! The count down to Christmas with the advent calendar made sure of that. Grandma Rowley arrived to help celebrate the festivities. And on Christmas Eve (morning) we started in on the Rowley traditions.

The kids got to open one gift each, 

played in the snow,

ate a fabulous ham dinner cooked up by Jon,

 

   watched A Christmas Story,

laughed (and cried!),

said BYE to Elfie,

and read The Night Before Christmas!!

Dessert Time

There's no shortage of sweetness to go around with the sweets in this household!!
