We had an "Early Christmas" Dec. 10th, as Jayden was going to be in CO for Christmas, and Jason & Tiff were going to TX. They arrived Fri. night, traveling through some difficult driving conditions.

The menu for the night was Italian spaghetti, salad, toast, and cheesecake.

We enjoyed the night together, as tomorrow Jayden would leave for Bismarck with Nathan & Jeni for Cole's basketball tournament.

Jason & Tiff are ready to watch Jayden open his presents. Cole and Claire would open a gift, but will wait until Christmas Eve to open the rest.





Taj came along for the celebration! She will stay with us while the rest of the gang goes to Bismarck.



Claire got a Diva Dress-up with a "How to"dance DVD.










Jayden thanked everyone with hugs. He's so sweet!


Great Grandma and Grandpa won't see him til spring when they return from Arizona.

We'll miss you when you're in CO, Jayden!

Great Grandma gave Jayden her traditional mini stocking with money tucked in that she puts on her Christmas tree for each of the kids.



Jayden will miss Taja1




The Diva makes her appearance!!

She decided to join in on the family picture!



The dance DVD is in, but Claire decides to study the moves first. The boys jumped right in!



Claire is ready to try the moves now!




The next morning, Chad is scheduled to arrive by Amtrak. His train was late! Imagine that! Tiff decided to take Taja along, as she wasn't too thrilled at being left alone!

It arrives late. Stuck in Surrey while track was being repaired!


We're SO glad to see Chad!

Looks like leftovers were on the agenda for Saturday night!







Chad just had to get a Poker game going!


Thought this was too cute!

Jayden loves his Uncle Chad!

And his Great Grandparents!

And his Grandparents!

And Auntie Sherry!

He'll be missed at Christmas!

Cole returns from Bismarck with a second place trophy!

Fun times abound when Chad's around!

Claire was so excited to find that we had the same "Marble Works" as they had at her preschool!

Cole got in on a game of Poker with Chad.


Legos and blocks also entertained Claire.

We went out Monday night before Chad left on the evening train. We'll miss he and Jenny at Christmas also! Chad has to work during Christmas.

Lovely lights at the Lee home.

The snowman is getting buried a little bit in the snow. More pics to come!
