Christmas Day started with a great breakfast at the Chan's house. Brian and Rich made cream cheese French toast! Then we went to church with everyone for a short meeting. Afterwards, we took the grandparents out for Christmas lunch. It was good to get everyone together and spend some good quality time.

Grandma loves telling Grandpa what to do, and he loves laughing at her!

Kacie spent the day hanging out with us. She's such a good kid! Amanda helped her get in touch with her inner ghetto!

Grandma and Grandpa Chan can never pass up some good dim sum!

Brian and Rebecca got a snuggle pillow and blanket for watching tv. Favorite Pasttime!

First a Hip Hop velour sweat suit, now a beanie cap. Pops is full on gangsta!

Kaitlyn loves Grandma Chan!

And Grandpa too!

Nicki caught in the act again!

Mom and Pops finally get wedding pics!

Amanda loves this clock! But Rich and Juli got it!

Does this pillow look familiar? Can you say "white elephant"? HEHE!

But best of all, we got to see our cute little neices! What a great Christmas!

Our yearly White Elephant/Christmas party was a lot of fun! We all got crazy presents and just had fun hanging out.

Phil and Jamie came and partied with us tonight! They had their third kid a little sooner than they thought!

The karaoke newcomer, Mikey J, had all the moves.

Jacky Poo made it up for Christmas!

We had an early Christmas celebration because Lisa and Josh were going to Baltimore to spend Xmas with his family. So we opened some presents early. We also got to see our cute little neices tonight, as well as Rich and Juli. We were so happy to see them!

Nicki has gotten so big! And she loves to dig for hidden treasures!

I think we made a good choice for Lisa and Josh's presents!

Long or short, it doesn't matter. She's just cute!

First a disclaimer. All houses on the waterfront here have this same problem. I've talked to all our neighbors and they tell us it's just something that you have to get used to. That said, here's the story. So Amanda and I are just getting home from our referees clinic at the Renton community center. She gets home first and goes into the house. I am a little behind her because I am on the phone. All of a sudden I hear her scream and she comes running out of the house. What did she see......

I guess it was just freshly caught and was still squeeking when she went in the room. The rat had just flopped over and was laying there. So I get the fun job of cleaning it up. Not before a couple pictures for the blog!

That will teach you to come over and eat my food without asking!

But rat's and all, how can you not love this?!!

Should I cut it or leave it the way it is?

Amanda votes that I just go short.

But i'm pretty happy the way it is!
