Since we went to Henderson for Thanksgiving - Henderson wanted to come up to the Lodge for Christmas. So, the regulars were going to be seven girls, and four adults. Sleeping arrangements included turning Sarah's room into a "dorm", and parking the trailer on the driveway. But everyone was comfortable - though morning showers require a lot of coordination! But there is nothing like a house full of kids to make Christmas a lot of fun.

| The Lodge was almost ready for company - a few light bulbs to check, a decoration or two to put up, and soon our Nevada cousins will be here! | Julia gave the Santas on the patio one last tweak. |
|
|
| Remember when the cousins get together, funny things start happening - here they're trying to make the "fish face", but someone is laughing too hard. | No - this is close - but you don't have that fish pucker yet! |
|
|
| Oh now we're close - so VERY close! | That's it - the cousin's fish pucker face!. |
|
|
| A trip to the llama ranch to look at their lips! | After Rich and Jeanne arrived, we unwrapped a few of the presents that were under the tree. |
|
|
| Every one loves unwrapping a couple of presents. | It doesn't matter how old you are - opening presents is fun!. |
|
|
| Some presents are meant to be shared! | We always make room around the table for everyone! |
|
|
| Lindsay, Leah and Julia entertained everyone with a selection of Christmas carols. (Carols by the Carrolls!) | The next morning, it is nice to warm up by the fire in the cold house. There will be more adventures tomorrow! |
