Christmas in PA

We had our Christmas celebration with Mom-Mom, Grampa, Aunt Maria, Uncle Joe, Caroline, Auntie Kate and Kyle two weekends ago (I set this to post 12/23 but for some reason that didn't work out). We'll traveled to Vermont for Christmas Day so this was our Pennsylvania Christmas Explosion, 2008.
As usual, Mom-Mom and Grampa went ALL OUT and the boys had an amazing time. Peter was just getting over a little stomach virus so he was on the quieter side until his new vehicle was unveiled. He and his new best buddy Caroline were joyriding throughout most of the night. I think I actually caught Caroline whispering, "Dude - you wanna bounce outta here? Let's see what this thing can do on the driveway."
Who says Christmas fun has to all happen on the twenty-fifth day of December? If Santa can get places earlier, why not take him up on it? What you'll see below: Pete not caring about packaging when it comes to his new dashboard, Vincent making Auntie Kate pose "nonchalantly" for a photo, opening a new engineer costume with Mom-Mom, Pete drinkin' with Grampa, cruising with Caroline, and loving Mom-Mom, Prospector Vincent looking at his map with Auntie Kate and Kyle, and Caroline chatting up Elmo.
It's official, we are not buying these kids anything ever again. After this week, they will be set for life. And their kids' lives. D'aaah the holidays.
