Here's the children decorating this year's Christmas tree. In case you're trying to figure it out, we tore off the plaster to start a project, then hung plastic and lights and ornaments. Yup, it's an odd year.
Grandpa Bill reads the children one of their presents.
Able enjoys his new ball.
Lots of giving.

Christmas Celebration 2009
We will be traveling to Hudson, WI January 8 & 9 to visit Uncle Matt, Aunt Monica, cousin Ava and to meet our new nephew Luke Elijah Milligan!
So here's handsome Luke at one month.
Bedtime stories with Uncle Matt.Even Ava tries to call her daddy Uncle Matt in all the excitement of cousin fun.
We made time to play with Matt too. Matt and Monica introduced us to a new game - Settlers of Catan. Mark was having fun playing with our new camera. He took the picture of the game, so maybe it's worth adding to the blog?
Mark played with different camera settings for quite a while. This was my favorite shot.
Ava is sure a cutie!This is her surprize look.
Well, we ended up getting to stay an extra day. That made time for more playing, yummy snacking, and Settlers fun late into the night. We had a rematch round. Mark won. I suppose we're all a little tired of Matt wining all the time. We also got to see the house that Matt and Monica currently have an offer in on in Hudson. That was fun too.
