Christmas With the Gates' continued

I've never posted a collage with so many pictures- so I hope you can see them. But thanks to Martha's camera that I borrowed for the day- we got LOTS of pictures- there's SO MANY kids!! Our newest addition to the family- Eric and Libby's son Henry- is in a few pictures!!

Aunt Patti and Uncle Dave's present to all the kids was a bounce house-- VERY FUN!! The weather cooperated and the kids bounced for hours- even the little ones got in! Then Uncle Gary was the chaperon- and the Mommies weren't allowed out... there wasn't any blood, so I guess all is well!!

After the kids got their gifts and the adults exchanged their "real" presents, we did our famous $10 gift game. Uncle Gary ended up with the funniest gag gift, as you can see from the photo near the bottom!! He ended up trading Jeff for "ugly guy"- no offense to Grama Joyce and Aunt Vaughn!!- one of them won it at a carnival about fifty years ago- and we found it in Pulaski when we helped move all their stuff. He's been showing up in the strangest places over the last couple of years! WHO'S NEXT?!?!?

Well, I guess Christmas is officially over- so long 2006! This year is going to be a BIG one for us- with the new house and all- Welcome 2007 and all that it brings!
