After we had lunch at our house, we went over to Christine and Eric's house for the Williams Christmas. Mark and Barb and their three daughters are in the same place very often, so we tried to get some pictures and ended up with some pretty nice ones, including one with them and their three grandchildren.
Eric and Christine prepared an awesome meal for us, and after that we exchanged gifts. Joshua especially liked his military set with a tank and some Army guys.
Mark and Eric stayed upstairs to chat, but the rest of us headed downstairs to have some game time. Hannah, though, couldn't stay awake and crashed on Meghan's lap.
We played Taboo, which is kind of a retro game at his point, but it's a favorite in our family. Michelle and I emerged victorious, and the Taboo champs are memorialized here in this photo that you know is from Michelle and not me, because it has some sort of filter on it, and I'm not young enough or cool enough to do filters.
Joshua and I had on similar shirts, so I wanted to get a picture of it. He was whispering something in my ear here (I don't remember what), but he apparently found it to be pretty funny.
When we got back to the house, the kids had a little bit of time to play with their toys before bedtime. Hannah was excited to wear her new ladybug jammies. These are notable, because they are perhaps her all-time favorite jammies from when she owned them in a smaller size (two or three sizes smaller than these), and she wore them even after they were way too small, but at some point it was just too much. But Meghan was able to find the same exact ones, but in Hannah's current size, and she's super excited to wear them tonight. Another fun gift she got was a motorized tricycle for Chicken Baby. You can actually prop Chicken up on it, press a button, and it will drive around the floor, giving Chicken a chance to be a big kid who rides trikes. You're growing up so fast, Chicken!
The next night Michelle came over to hang out with us and the kids, and she engaged in a lightsaber, er, space sword fight with the kids, and by the looks of it, I don't think she was winning.
Anyway, we had a really fun time at Christine's house with the whole Williams crew, and I don't know if it'll work out next year, but I think it would be a fun new tradition if we could make it happen in future years.
