Boxing Day Fun

 We started our morning with turning over our first activity of our Disney countdown!  We got to make Mickey Mouse pancakes for breakfast.  I even attempted a Minnie Mouse one for Emma.  Not the most artistic, but the kids loved them and they tasted great!




At noon we headed out to Mountain View for our annual Boxing Day get together with my family. Amazingly, every single person was there, so we snapped a few family pictures before everyone got to eat! For that many people in a picture, it's not too bad!


My parents and all their grandchildren (until April when there will be one more added!).


After our yummy dinner, we had our fish pond.  I love traditions.





After the fish pond, we got to exchange gifts with the families that we'd bought for.  We gave my parents a banner for their hangar with an RV-10 on it.  I don't have any pictures, but Rachel & Cub had our name this year and they bought us a raclette grill and real raclette cheese!  So excited!


I attempted to get everyone doing some 'Reindeer' games and after a bit of back and forth we got most of the kids and some of the adults to participate.


One of the games that worked fairly well was making our own antlers out of balloons and nylons!

We played a bunch of card games, ate snacks and visited with each other right into the evening.
