Allison appeared in the church youth choir program on Xmas eve.

Pam decided to have a traditional Mexican Xmas eve party, so she called Lynn and asked if she knew where we could pick up a pinata. "Yeah, I've got one here." That's right, Lynn just happened to have a pinata on hand.

Isaac takes his best cut at the pinata with the traditional Mexican wiffle ball bat.

Allison gets a piece of the pinata.

Chris inflicts some damage, but the pinata just laughs it off.

The pinata's not laughing anymore. Tommy celebrates his birthday with some destruction.

Chris enjoyed his new scooter without pain and blood.

Grrr. Don't you be telling me there's no Santa. And don't get too close to my stocking. Grrrr.

Ivan gets some accessories for watching his birds.

Isaac launches some wrapping paper at Grandpa Lou and Audrey's on Sunday before Xmas.

Chris helps Rudy open his present from Lynn and Wayne.

Grandma gets a new watch.

Isaac works on some trick riding just before doing a James Dean off the curb. You're not having fun if you're not bloody.

Allison opens an adventure pack from Chris and Jim.

Annie and Ben got presents in exactly the right size and color.

Chris made a beaded necklace for Julie, modeled below.
