It was good to have so many together - Marcia and Dick came from Florida for a few days.
Christmas Day is spent at our house - Santa time in the morning and then the Thomas family comes for dinner. Barb and family stopped at Mom Wilsons and got a hickory smoked ham for dinner - it is THE best!!!!!!!!
It's a lot of family cramed into a short time - but good memories...........
Andrew is going thru a stage of not wanting his picture taken.........but if he has a camera, it's a different story!!!!
These are most of the Kuhlman greats - Reagan is missing from this picture. The Zweering boys looked real cute in their matching shirts!!!!!!!! 
Andrew and Reagan shared toys - Reagan was there for a brief hello as she and her parents have other family obligations too............
Most of the grands and greats!!!!!!!! Andrew is there........behind his dad!!!!!!!!!!
The kids ate dinner in the kitchen - with a little supervision from Jessi and me!!!!!!!!
These children had to do a good inspection of presents - and had great patience!!!!!!!!!
As you can see - Andrew is a mover!!!!!!!!!!
A big hit were these remote control bumper cars !!!!!!!!!!!
Christmas morning Andrew saw his train - Alexander saw a couple Star Wars lego sets and a drawing book.
Allison got a nice box for her Pokemon cards - you can see her new keyboard in the background.
Andrew also got a new bike - riding on the carpet downstairs was tough, so we brought the bike up and rode around the kitchen and foyer!!!!!!!!!!
Alexander got some new gloves in his stocking!!!!!!!!!
Great-Grandma always ends up reading - and these kids LOVE to be read to. Also seen reading to children were Uncle John and Uncle Chris.
I have a large collection of Christmas books that were on the hearth. Allisons' favorite is The Chirstmas Cookie Sprinkle Snitcher - purchased for Ashley in 1979~!!!!!
JR worked with Alexander - and help from Andrew?????- on a Star Wars lego set.
This is everybody - got Andrew before he wanted out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alexander started band this fall and brought his clarinet. He has good tone with this instrument - not an easy thing to do!!!!
Uncle Chris used to play the clarinet and gave him some pointers.
Great Grandpa played the clarinet too!!!!!!!!!
It has been a whirlwind couple of days - with lots of good times and memories. Ashley and family left on Saturday late afternoon after a quick visit to the Thomas greats and family.
Monday is moving day - my parents are moving to a retirement home.

A good time was had by all!!! Do you still have helpers for the big moving day? I hope the have hired someone to move their stuff, even with family help it would be too much. You have great gkids and the rest are OK too. =) Bonnie
Two Men and a Truck will be there at 10:30 to move the furniture......shouldn't take long to move that - only 2 rooms at Burcham - 9 at their home!!!!!
All kids have been taking "stuff" home to their houses. Lots of art work and treasures!!!
we have many family photos where the youngest is struggling to escape or is nowhere to be seen :)
