Christmas this year was at my parent's house. There were 20 people there and we had a good, loud time. A Christmas Eve tradition, that we have done as long as I can remember, it to sing Christmas carols. The best part, when you are a kid, is that we always get to use instraments too. For example, a triangle, jingle bells, tamborine, shakers, etc. Anything that makes "music". Needless to say, it gets a little noisy. Just be glad these are still pics and not video.

This is my attempt to capture everyone in the small living room, making noise, I mean music.
Some of the kids, doing the music thing. It is also like the paparazi visit us at Christmas time. In the back you can see Burke and Bryce with cameras, I obviously had mine and also Russ will have his out too. Plus there are usually video cameras rolling as well.

Jose, Austin , Calvin and Garrett.
Sorry Kathleen, I had to include this picture. We were singing a song (I'm not sure which one) and I got this pic. Isn't that great! Maybe it's her hippo impression. (Just be glad I didn't post it on facebook:)
