Visit with the Murphy's

On Christmas day we went to Cathi and Don's in Aldergrove, BC. All of the Murphy's had a fabulous Christmas! The kids were happy with all of their toys. The big boys got a big-screen TV and various video games. Don won the prize this year - his Christmas gift from Cathi was a Caribbean cruise, in June! They are both very excited about that.

We enjoyed lots of visiting, playing and coloring, as well as taking advantage of the after-Christmas sales. Don, Lee and Sean left home at 5:30 am on the 26th to go and score some bargains! Cathi and I chose a later time to do our shopping!

Cathi fixed lots of yummy dinners and desserts, so we ate well, as usual! Lee was able to assist Don with some of his computer projects, so that was good.

It was so good to spend time with the kids and grandkids! The little ones had sure changed since we saw them last.

Nathan spent this Christmas in Cordova, AK. It was his first Christmas away from home, but we talked to him frequently. Hopefully next year he'll be at home for Christmas.

Jordyn and a very complicated construction project!

Patience is building, too.

Teamwork!

We didn't get a picture of Sean! He was either downstairs playing video games, or, at his friend, Jeremy's, playing paintball! But he's doing well, enjoying the Christmas break from school, and has gotten really tall!
