now that christmas is over

So much happened over the christmas season, where to start? Christmas #1 started at Dad Hathaway's on the 23rd. It was a big deal and even included Merrill's famous wheat pancakes. Steve got the big win present with a Ryobi tool set. I think though that Sopie like the wrapping more than her actual presents.
This was a pretty big deal, mostly because this was only the second time that Merrill had spent time with his grandchildren, its a growing relationship.
Christmas day we woke up early and celebrated our first O'Neill christmas together.

Then it was off to the O'Neill's for Christmas morning with them. Holly got the most awesome present of a sewing machine, the only request she made. woohoo! Then the clan descended upon the house and much jollitry (is that a word?) was had. Then, whew this is exhausting, we packed up and went back north to Holly's mom for some more Hathaway christmas.
