Christmas Dinner with the Martins

As tradition goes we celebrate Christmas with the Martin family, and this year Tina and fam hosted dinner. So after nap/quiet time we duded up and headed out. The kids were spoiled all over again with gifts from Nami & Danpa, and Cassie & Dashel as well. 

 

H, opening up a wonderful book 

Q opening Farmopoly and Todd checking out one of our many new ornaments

Nami has made us ready to be "The Zackey Band" with gifts of ukuleles for the kids, and an auto harp for me, and Todd received a beautiful piece of native art for our living room. 

 

 The kids also had fun playing with all their new playmobil sets from C & D and Santa too! 

  

Oooo, a pink princess set with more pink unicorns!

Oooo, pirates with a canon! 

We love you Cassie and Dashel!

And there was heaps of fun times with the exciting older cousins. 

H was particularly a tease this year!

 

Our kids loved sitting with all the big kids for dinner, and the food of course was delicious. 

The "kids" were all downstairs in the action this year (as apposed to upstairs doing their own thing) and we even had a sing-a-long led by Mom and her ukulele!

We surprised Mom by all singing her a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday"!

 

Of course Q & H had to help with the candles.

And to end the evening we attempted a photo of most of the cousins:

 It was a marvelous Christmas night! Thanks everyone!
