Christmas 2015

 When we got in, it was strangely warm (in the low 50's) so we spent a lot of time swinging in the backyard.



"Grandma lets me climb on the table!"



Rosie helped roll truffles.

 Grinch popcorn

Jared rock climbed. He is getting brave!

Melted crayon ornaments


A few days later and a few days colder, Joe invited us to a polar bear plunge. As soon as we walked over to the lake, Peter jumped in before he could psych himself out of it!



 The rest of the stupid brave!







Adrenalin high!

None of the kids fell in thankfully!

 Jared was a shepherd

Rosie was Mary and Peter was the Donkey

 Christmas morning

These two stayed when the others ran for their presents! Ha!











Silly version of the family picture

Eight grandchildren (and one on the way)

Gingerbread houses

Family Talent Show


They love their Grandpa!

It finally snowed!




Norah's first sled ride!




And it was a merry Christmas, indeed!

Looks like a grand time was had by all - even the "brave" folks who took a dip in to the freezing water!
