Christmas at the Hughes'


Wi got a Wii!!! Yippii!!

Chris got a new fishing pole!!!

Maddie is checking out her new sandals from Uncle Jon and Aunt Cheryl!!

And then they sleep!!

This year obviously the big excitement here was the discovery of the Wii from Santa. You see, we found and bought one for the kids and wrapped it in several layers of paper. When the children just couldn't stand it any longer, they coaxed the youngest siblings to "accidently tear the paper". Well, around here that is certain doom for Christmas. I scooped up all the gifts and "took them back". The children spent the 3 weeks before Christmas trying to make up for the mishap and hoping Santa would come through since Mom already took that one back!! Christmas morning was a happy one afterall. Santa came through!!

Greg was able to be home for 2 weeks over Christmas. That was a big deal for the family. I don't think he was really accustomed to all the noise and chaos that seems to be par for the course around here. He managed to cope and have a great time with the kids before heading off to the UK after New Years. He is getting the hang of driving on the "wrong" side of the car on the "wrong" side of the road!! He did say the rental car may need new tires when he is done with it since he keeps checking the curbs!! We all miss him around here and are looking forward to seeing him over Spring Break in March for a fun family vacation to Florida!!!
