We had a wonderful time with Wendy, Austin and family in Marietta, Ohio. Den discovered the Wii (for 8 hours) and we had lots of fun with the Christmas Eve talent show, and of course, Scrabble.
Here's Granpa with Riley, Allison and Elayna. Allison didn't want to be in the picture because Granpa kept teasing her about her thumbsucking. He's got her convinced that she is going to grow a unibrow if she doesn't stop!
The kids got not one, but two little beagles. They are 3 years old and belonged to one of Austin's employees. Best of all, they are potty trained and very well behaved.
Upon arrival, we read a letter Dallin had written to his Mom about his disappointment with Christmas. I quote, "As you know, I am not having a very good Christmas. The girls are a pain, there is no snow, and this is not something that can be fixed by becoming the director of a Charlie Brown play. No, it is far worse than that. There are too many people in this house worried about presents!" He looks pretty happy here with his legos.
We were ass-tounded with Riley's next gift. Just what everyone young girl wants...a donkey for Christmas!!!! A neighbor brought over this cute 3 month old donkey so that Riley can learn how to take care of it. This education is being undertaken in the hopes of someday getting a horse. His name is Checkers and, of course, it was raining when they brought him over. You should have heard Austin and Den--they could not stop with the a-- jokes!
