More Christmas Photos

My aunt Amy uploaded her photos and I wanted to make sure I shared hers as well. I haven't downloaded my camera completely so there might be another post. I also have some pictures and video of the kids presents we had here at the house. Razor scooters and 360 Rip Riders! WOO-HOO!

For those that don't know the Farrells - well they are a crazy bunch. We always have a great time together and are already thinking about the next big get together.

The funnest part for me is I remember Josh and I rippin and roarin with Uncle Dave and Uncle Pete. Always pushing the envelope and the rules. And now I see my boys doing the same thing - with all the cousins thrown into the mix. As you will see in some of the pictures, my boys received dart guns for Christmas and sometimes the beach house felt like a dart war zone! Darts a flyin and bodies ducking for cover. Very fun.

Once again, these pictures are totally out of order. Sorry.

 Ryan and Grant on their nature scavenger hunt.

 Beckett, Grant and Randy heading out on Cap's boat.

 Attempt at a group photo - I love these when no one is expecting the picture to be taken. :-)

 Grant launching out for battle on the USS Lexington.

 Megan and Grant fishing from the pier.

 Some of the cousins - (L to R) Lindsey, Megan, Aileen and Conor

 Beckett and glitter glue - a dangerous combination! :-)

 3D movie on the USS Lexington - front to back - Pete, Conor, David, Beckett and Grant. Roger is next to Grant (unseen.)

 The Farrell 5 - Barbara, Amy, Connie, Pete and David

 A wreath of mini-sausages wrapped in crescents

 The boys built this tower of Solo cups - Amy peeking through the middle.

 Megan and Beckett. Beck is wearing these head lamps that light up a special football they got. Who needs the dark - let's just wear them in the house! :-) 

 Aileen, Megan and Grant making popsicle snowflakes.

 Oh Beckett....could you try just a little bit?

The Simmons with Macie and Cap

 Another not ready picture. Check out Beckett up front. He was so done and tired.

 Lindsey, Aileen, and Megan - missed you Morgan!

 Megan mid dart gun battle - RUN FOR COVER MEG!

 Grant getting a little cuddle time with Macie

 Just the boys hit the Lexington - l to r - Roger, Drew, Cap (with Grant and Beckett), Pete, David, Ryan, Conor and Randy

When I asked Beckett if I could go to he said - No mom, no dirls!

 Grant in the captains chair on the Lexington

 Imelda and her AMAZING scones. Seriously - you have never had a scone until you have had one of these. THANK YOU IMELDA!!!

 Beckett out of control. I love this picture.

 I love this one too - Beckett and Dave having a chat about the presents under the tree.

 And yet another fav! Such great expressions on both! David and Beckett

 Aileen, Megan and Grant

 Beckett enjoying a little down time with dad.

 So cute.

 We went bowling. David bowled a 196. He used his greasy napkin to brag about it at dinner. Enough said. And for those that don't know David Farrell - this is classic.

 Simmons family on Christmas day. I love the boys in their ties!

 And here is everyone looking at the camera. Not going to try and name everyone off...

 Beckett and Drew fishing

 The boys and their tower again.

 Beckett mesmerized by one of Uncle Pete's many many stories.

 Grant and Megan - I think there is a little bit of a crush happening here. 

The present in Meg's lap is Grant's gift to her. He spent, and I do not exagerrate, 30 minutes wrapping it. I wanted to put it all in a gift bag and call it good. He wanted to wrap each individual present and tie it all up with a bow. AND he picked out everything - goodies and gadgets for her kitchen at college.
