Moser Christmas

Oooooh, what a time! The Moser gathering always proves to create...unique memories.  This is Dad's "calendar picture" for next year--somehow he always has good ones taken of him over the holidays.  :)  We drove to the farm on Christmas morning, after staying overnight with Scott and Colleen (Seahawks, 4:00 Church, and pizza make for a great Christmas Eve!).  Ben and Kelly arrived from Warden in the early afternoon, and we dove into the unwrapping giddiness after the kids woke up from naps.  This particular picture, by the way, is of Dad experiencing the noggin massager that he found in his stocking.

You'd better BELIEVE it was passed around...

Josh was very excited about his Toy Story 3 eating set--silverware, plate and cup.

Kelly, Ben, and little Clementine--NOT twins, in case my Christmas card confused anyone.  The second unborn babe mentioned in the card belongs to Drew and Annie.  Darn those rumor-starting sisters...

Legos!  Megan had Josh's name...and he had hers!  La-La-Loopsie dolls were given in return.  Notice how he's checking out the DVD--our little TV addict!

Abby and Gracie had each others' names--Gracie got a pillow pet and Abby got slippers that were VERY fuzzy on the inside (the only requirement when selecting slippers).

Kelly's brother works for Hollister, so Kelly and Ben made Brooke's entire Christmas with this gift.  Brady got his lures...and other manly fishing things that I don't know much about...

Mom gave me this great wipe-off wall hanging that my Aunt Sheyanna made!  I plan to write our weepy dinner menu on it, in attempt to get me more excited to cook...  :)  Cool, huh?  Nice work, Shey.

A boat!  Almost better than the gifts...

And then the butcher and the baker tossed overboard the candlestick maker...

Megs and Abby...American Doll pets!

Katie loves the 3 Kings...she was born on the Epiphany, you know.  :)  Rockin' Elmo and Joshy meet for the first time...THANKS, G'ma Joan!  :)

Ben is building up his shop--score!  Jeffrey unwrapping his clothes--notice the Sounders jersey I gave him for his birthday...

It takes talent to fall asleep amidst a room full of CHRISTMAS NOISE.

 And the only thing cuter than a boy and his stick horse...

 ...is his uncle who can't resist showing him how it's done!

Josh and the Big Wall...

The kids love to wrestle.  Dad is their favorite climbing toy, but they'll tackle any innocent victim sitting on the carpet.  Papa and Gracie love G'ma Joan's cookies.  I'm seeing some uncanny resemblances in these smiles...
