Waterhouse Christmas '09

This weekend we travelled northward to Maine for the Waterhouse Family Christmas. A fun gathering the kids opened presents and played together while the adults had a Yankee Swap. Isn't Christmas just the best time of year? It's too bad it is only once a year, we need more excuses for parties!
Cora and Grampy

Caden and "his buddy" Uncle Brian

The kids would congregate to "help" each other open their gifts

Tea anyone? Cole really enjoyed Elizabeth's princess tea set!

Aunt Mary got the "boobie" prize.. really they were some pretty nifty baking dishes that just looked boob-a-riffic when held at the right height!

Cole and Elizabeth have a tea party

Hooray! for Christmas!! Who needs presents when you have pretty bows?

Grampy tries on Caden's cape! My cousin Marleina made him this really cool cape.. but he refused to try it on..

Catherine and Aunt Mary

Elizabeth and Marleina
And then Uncle Brian arrived with the entertainment! His 4-wheeler.. every little boys dream come true... and girls??! Even Aunt Mary gave it a whirl!


Show-off!

The kids watch from inside

Timmy


His Mom was quoted "Shouldn't they be wearing helmets?"

And the kids have a turn

Everyone needs an Uncle Brian!!
Another day closer to the big day! The kids are beginning to go a little bit nuts! Christmas morning is going to be very exciting around here! I just can't wait!
