Christmas 2011 Pics

This Christmas, Jim, Brandi & the kids came up from Kansas City. We also had the extended Bickley family here for Christmas Eve, and Santa made a special appearance, .... so did a big flying clown fish (Thanks Greg).

We celebrated Lisa's Birthday on the 26th since she had to work Christmas Eve and all day and night on her birthday. Brandi made her special request Boston Cream Birthday cake... amazing.

Jim & Brandi got some alone time in Chicago Tuesday to Wednesday while we spent some alone time with Logan, Reece, Nathan and Brody. Wednesday night we added Jack to the pile so Liz & Steve could join Jim, Brandi and Lisa for night out at wild Tuna.

Thursday night we all went to the Sky High Sports Center for some trampoline jumping, and then came home for some home made pizza. Friday was a day for everyone to chill out Jim & Brandi to rest up for the drive home....WOW did that week go fast.

We didn't get as many pictures as we wanted, but here are a few for you to enjoy:

Christmas 2011 Sky-High Jump

We all got together at the Sky-High Sports center Thursday evening.

Wall-to-wall trampolines, with trampolines on the walls too. I think our kids were just as excited to jump as the grand-kids were. First, bouncing in the kids court, then jumping in to foam blocks, then some showing off by the big kids in the main court, then back to the little kids court.

It was great to see them all have so much fun.

Christmas 2011 Lost Walk

The kids expect a "Lost Walk" when they come to Grandma & Grandpa's house.

We stop at each intersection and the kids take turns spinning and pointing with their eyes closed. They stop on the count of three, and wherever they point, that's where we go, ... until we're "Lost". Then, they all have to find our way back home.
