Merry Franzen Fam Christmas

Our Christmas in New York was bliss. The Eve began with church, followed by a yummy Italian dinner and ended with the Franzenfam traditional peppermint hot chocolate and new Christmas PJ's.


A java toast Christmas morning



to Grandma's homemade cinnamon rolls...


and to the Ultimate Christmas Gift


After the Christmas story was read and a prayer of thanks given the "opening" began



There were lots of smiles






And some tears. Tears of joy in this case...



The rest of the day would be spent playing with new toys...





or reading in Skyler's case..



While the women got things ready for Christmas dinner adorned in their new comfy footwear


the men shared in the Christmas play



..or the frustration of putting toys together



It was a very Merry Franzen Fam Christmas!

My hubby suggested we get a Wii. I might cave in just to see the tears of joy that would be on his face. LOL!

We had a few tears of joy here too...amazing what a bit of electronic genius can stir up in the family.

Now all of are grand kids have Wii. All I could do was bowling but the kids beat me in everything else! Great game, better than cards and board games. I'm happy for them all. Dad B.
