Round 1 !

The Callahan Christmas party was this past Sunday. Let me tell ya it's a rough and tumble, rowdy time when all 8 of these crazy cousins get together (and that is without counting the adults). We had a very nice prime rib dinner as is the tradition. Then all the grandkids and even Grandma and Grandpa got to open their presents.

Embrie and her rocking horse and new baby.
She's been rocking ever since.

Garrett with Iron Man, (believe it or not we've never had a superhero toy before) he loves it.

And a basketball hoop! yes he's playing with it in the house right now, cross your fingers.

And an easel from the cousins! they were a little disappointed that it didn't fit in the car with everything else, we had to leave it behind for now, but many years of enjoyment to come.

Now you've seen the Neilsen family Christmas party . . . this is a whole other story!

Uncle Cory the beautician, who knew right?

lookin' good

even the boys were signing up

however, I did run into one unhappy customer ... perhaps stick with your day job Cory.

and some time with Grandpa! yay!

What a fun time, thanks Grandma and Grandpa for everything! The kids are loving it!
Maybe Santa should cancel!
