Christmas started with Wendy's brother Ron and his wife Sophie coming out from Minnesota.
Roger and his ladyfriend Gaby joined us for dinner and gift exchange. Roger's new style propane tank will let us use his turkey fryer.
Ron can always use another good beer.
Wendy and Gaby giggling us girls tend to do. Wendy's got a chore in front of her.
The whole gang. We need a bigger couch for our group photos.
Then it was up to Bozeman where we generally stay in this cabin at the Alpine Lodge.
The sky was promising some snow for skiing...
but the best we got was a lonely walk over a little crust.
Over at Wendy's sister Lola's house, the family had quite a stash. 'Course with six of them, it adds up.
The gingerbread men got a little over dressed.
Let's see - hot wheels, football, helmet; is this a girl's pile?
Wendy and I got a set of crystal salad bowls. That's a lot of salad to get down!
Hope they kept it all sorted.
The following evening, it was over to Sarah and James' place. The ladies are busy preparing the food while the guys are busy...
doing pretty much nothing. Sounds good.
The cat was relaxing for a minute...
before attacking the power cord for the camera.
The goose and ducks were crabbing about being left out of the fun. Is that the same goose as the one that Les fried?
The stocking were left where it was handy since Sarah keeps a fire going under the chimney.
But then it takes a minute to find yours.
Back inside, the get emptied quick.
David and Troy check out their stocking stuffers.
After stockings, Sarah passes out the gifts.
Luke got a "virtual reality" Ninja fighter set. Hope the opposing Ninjas aren't too good since he didn't feel the need to stand up and defend himself.
Jessica must be after the flying Ninja's.
David is taking on the business executive ones.
Luciana is the trained boxer as was apparent in her stance.
And I was wild man with his elbows out too far.
Wendy just sipped her wine.
And the whole group of us including the rabbit Ziggy in David's arms.
