THE BOUNCY HOUSE

Dylann and Marshall received a bouncy house from their MeMe for Christmas.  I don't think there could be  better gift they could have received.  They will enjoy it in the winter with it in their basement and they will have it outside in the summer.  It blows up so quickly and is easily put down.  It is easy transferred from one place to the other unless your Ryann and you hurt your back.  We had Christmas with Aunt Pat yesterday, so all of the family came to Matt and Ryann's house.  They enjoyed playing together, opening more gifts and playing in the bouncy house.  I took a number of pictures, but when you are bouncing it is hard to get pictures that are clear.  You can see how much fun they were having.  We did miss Erin as she had strep throat and the doctor suggested she not be around anyone.

Dylann and Sydney are making their way up while Tayler and Camryn are already busy playing.

I was so busy watching them jumping in the bouncy house that I forgot to start taking pictures for a few minutes.  Ryann has a number of pictures that are great and hopefully I will be able to share them with you soon.

Tayler on the left standing, Camyrn and Marshall sitting and  Dylnn is jumping and Syd is still making her way back up.

Dylann rolled down the slide and is lying at the bottom.

Marshall ready to slide down.  Makenzie and Tayler talking and Camyrn watching Dylann coming back up one more time.

The three red heads.  Marshall, Dylann and Camryn

Sydney in the back.  Dylann sitting at the top of the slide.  Makenzie watching Marshall and Tayler coming back up the hill.

A house full of fun.  Sydney has the football in the back, Dylann bouncing, Camryn resting and Makenzie taking a rest on the ball.

 Camryn still resting and I  think Makenzie in the back.  Dylann ready to go down the slide.

 Makenzie and Sydney with Marshall on the side.

And one more  of the same. 
Ryann has a number of more picture and as soon as she posts on facebook I will post them.

HOME ALONE

 As usual the TV was on during our Christmas festivities.  When we were done with eating, opening presents and were just sitting around talking the  movie " Home Alone" was on.  I know, everyone has watched that movie may times, but Pappy and I never had seen it.  We were all laughing and enjoying the show, but the best part of it was watching Dylann and Sydney.  They were laughing and laughing to the point that they were just silly.  Here are a few pictures of them enjoying the movie.

 Do you see that Dylann?  Isn't it funny?

Taking time to smile for Nana.

You had to be there to see just how silly and how much fun these girls were having.  I just love watching my grandchildren enjoy life.

BITS OF CHRISTMMAS

Our grandchildren loved Christmas and enjoyed it so much.  Marshall received a drill.  Matt

 received one when he was  was young and showed  us how his drill worked and it went through the wall.  Hopefully this will not go through their wall.

 Here he is checking out a race car he got.  Pretty nice!!!

 Sydney all attitude.

 Dylann and Sydney, best buddies.

Sydney still with her little lamb.

The Three Beauties

Marshall received a back pack.  Now he has one to carry to the baby sitter like Dylann.  He did not  take it off all night.

A top ten for her presents.

More present to come from their MeMe soon to follow.

I know their favorite gift was a bouncy house from her.  I bet we will be spending a lot of time in the basement.

LA LA LUCY

The gift of the season for Sydney was La La Lucy.  I  believe that she got at least 3 of them and she had one before hand.  While we were shopping I saw this pink wig which is what La La Lucy wears.  I decided to get it for Sydney for Christmas and when she opened it she had the reaction I hoped she's have.  Of course there were a few others who enjoyed wearing the wig too. 

The girls are pretty in pink

Tayler looks good too as a little girl with pink hair.

Mom even had a turn with the wig.



MORE FROM THE JINGLE BELL JOG

I mentioned on  another post that on Christmas Eve morning we had  the annual Jingle Bell Jog.  This was the 10th Annual Greater Blain Jingle Bell Jog.   It was a cold morning, but nothing like last year.  Last year it was very cold.  As usual I have the pictures out of order.  I always try to put them in order, put never seem to do it.  Once again Erin and Andrew were the first place winners for the ladies and the men's group.  Our neighbor  Ronnie , who is 10 years old  won the children's part.  Actually he was the second runner in.  Yea Ronnie!!!  Bob and Sue Thomas host this race every year and supply plenty of food and  every person receives a T shirt.  What a fun time for every one.  So here are the pictures without any order to them.

Mr. Christmas

 Erin and Andrew the winners over the last two years.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I have many pictures to post, but seem to be falling behind. Merry Christmas from our family to yours. Ryann had taken a number of pictures that they used on their Christmas card. What a sweet card! I also received a number of pictures of Erin and the girls along with a calendar that Ryann made. Priceless gifts.  Hopefully I will scan those pics and be able to post them on the site.  Enjoy your day.
