Christmas in St. Louis

We have had an amazing time so far relaxing and catching up with family. Here are some high
points!

Carole eating meatballs with the guys....

Hanging out with John, Pam, and the little Havecker in Pam's belly!!!!

Stan trying on some Harley gear,

and Carole and Brandon showing their Army connections....

Spending time TOGETHER!

Striking a "Charlie's Angel" pose with the new Marshmallow shooters we got...

Bonding with Gizmo, who is the cuddliest dog, ever! We would take him home (he really likes big dogs!) but Mom and Dad would probably not let that happen!
The three kids gave Mom and Dad a Nintendo DS, and the game "Brain Age" so that they don't get Alzheimers! (They were very appreciative!)

Brandon got a new tool belt and showed off his best side...
All in all we have had a great time so far. We have two more days and then it is back home to the rain. But 11 days of vacation...we won't complain!
