What a wonderfully successful Christmas! We had the surest sign of a successful Christmas. By the end of the day, the kids were blindly wondering around the house, totally overloaded, and unable to decide what to do. Unfortunately, I experienced a slight technical glitch. I got a new program for my smart phone. It takes two pictures a second, in the hope that I can actually capture the children in a reasonable pose, and temporarily not moving. I think it worked pretty well. I’ll know for sure when I figure out how to find the pictures this program took. In the mean time, I’ll use this picture to represent the first present.

Louise, Bob, and Bud

We’re getting ready for lunch. There is activity and anticipation of a movie, so I’m going ahead and posting this quickly. Bud came up Chrisstmas Day. The Belyeas were at Ed’s house; as were Pete, Rebecca and their two girls; and Joe. Unfortunately, the two girls were sick. Lynne & Rebbeca stayed with the girls, and the five other folks from Ed’s came down. Here’s the Belyeas and Bud.

Her’s Pete and Joe. It seems even the adults were pretty active — I wasn’t able to catch Pete sitting still.

Jul, Pat, Bryon, and Elizabeth are staying the week. Mark’s here for just today. Everybody else went home last night. I’ll see if I can post more later. I’m not to sure, though. There’s lots of activity around here.

Here’s Pat and Ed, then a pic of Pete, Joe, Mark, and Jul.
