Christmas 2008

Our Christmas was real whirlwind this year- we had a great time with the Northeast family- even though it was a lot of time for James and Will on the road and in strange beds. First stop was PA; Joe and Peg and Brendan made us very welcome in their house for Christmas Eve and Day- 

Everyone lined up and 'waiting' on Christmas morning: 

  
Super BFF's Brendan and James-


James making sure all of Willy's presents were OK-

Brendan and Joe got Peg a new bike!

Turn your back for a second and Willy has scaled the tallest peice of furniture in the room-


The boyz with their racetrack; we could have just unwrapped this as it was the only thing they played with all day-

On Friday we travelled to Pequannock to get ready for the big Maier sibling party at Jim and Ann's house- it was nice to be among so much family again and it really brought back the joyous and chaotic flavor of Christmas as I remember it as a kid. 

Uncle Bill and Willy on the same page--






What did you say?! The chaos in full swing-

Exhausted.

The rest of the break was spent helping Bill with his new timber frame shed- check out the update over at
