Merry Christmas to all!

This year we began our Christmas celebrations in Wisconsin and then ended here in Michigan. Here we are eating lunch at a restaurant in Rhinelander called Kids Corner Pizza. It has a G Scale train layout(like our kitchen has) in it and has become a family favorite (gee I wonder why). Lately Rose E has been into the trains too and asking us to turn them on in the kitchen.
The two train fans! Walter (and Daddy) where of course thrilled then when we followed a train from Rhinelander to Tomahawk (one of the best Christmas presents they could get).

Here it is crossing the road near a park that my sister's and I played in a lot growing-up, in Heaford Junction, I'm proud to say that I took this picture (yes I guess I'm one of them now).

The night before Christmas Eve we celebrated at my sister's house. Here's Colton being the holiday ham

and a truck driver. The kids got so many nice gifts from both families and have been enjoying them all. It was cute because after Walter opened his presents in Tomahawk he said "I must have been a really good boy here."

We came back for the Christmas Eve church service in Michigan. Unfortunately, Jeff had to leave the service because he got severe gallbladder pains and actually ended-up going to the Emergency room (he hadn't had them in a long time and then just within the past couple of weeks have had a few short pains). I felt so bad for him. After church we had a get together at his grandparents house but with everything happening I didn't really take any pictures. On Monday his doctor is scheduling an appointment with the surgeon. The poor guy has to avoid milk, cheese, creams, fats and greasy foods, which leaves not much for him too eat.

The kids had a good Christmas morning though. Rose E was thrilled to get a baby carriage for her babies and have been giving them joy rides all over our house.

Walter was excited to get the Geo Trax that he asked for (an airport) to go with his train layout.

Here he is running the airplane.

He also got an electronic Thomas game (Can't forget his love for Thomas either) which has gone all over with him (even to the grocery store).

Rose E also got a mini magnetic refrigerator that plays games too. She just loves those magnets.
Christmas day we had a dinner at Jeff's parents house. Here is a picture of his Grandparents, Gordon and Ruth Jean

and here we are.

I had to laugh when I saw this tag on Chevy, I don't know how he picked it up but I guess he has now become Rose E's gift from Santa.

Last but not least I added this one for kicks. Somehow she happened to give herself a food mohawk today.
