Christmas Day

I'll just be trying to catch up from the holidays for a while!

Here are some pictures of Christmas Day at the Phillips House. It was lots of fun. My mom and dad and Amy were here in the am, as were Chris's mom, sister Kaitlyn & her boyfriend Dallas, and sister Cara and hubby Paul with their 2 kids. Oh, and Tank. Their big big doggie. I wish I took a pic of him to post. He's enourmous!

Amy's friend Rene came out in the afternoon for supper, bringing Mishka, his bear hunting dog. He also brought the potatoes (with garlic and dill!) all from out of his own garden. Yum!

So we had a busy crazy fun filled day. Everyone has only had good things to say about it since, so I'll take it that everyone had a good time!

Here's a before pic. It looks a little rediculous, but there were 13 people here on Christmas morning!
A bit of the aftermath!
Cara and Paul and the top of Ky's head. Paul was just recovering from surgery on his shoulder (it liked to pop out of place a lot) hence the sling.Grampa B and Dani.

Yvonne, Kaitlyn & Dallas - catching some cool air from the front door as the living room got a bit warm, what with the huge fire roaring in the background!Dani was getting special reflexology treatment from Gramps. She would be all cranky so he'd start to rub her feet and that would get her quiet real fast!Kylan liked Dani's Christmas hat!Thumbs up on the 28 pound turkey Cara!Pretty baby!Trying to get a smile!
Sleeping babies. Dani and Tyla snoozing together. If it weren't for the blankies in the way, you could see the girls' pretty Christmas dresses!
