Christmas #6: The Florizone's

Later on Boxing Day, we headed down the driveway and around the corner (I am not even exaggerating.  That is how close Greg's Grandparents and other Grandma live to one another.   Here we celebrated Christmas #6 and did our annual Dutch Auction.


Playing with what Finley calls her "ipad".  It's some kind of vtech learning tablet she got from her cousins Easton + Ashton.  I like it because she wants to use my ipad that much less :).  It was a good way to kill time before supper.


Aunty Marleen playing with the girls before supper.  She lives in Chicago now so we take every opportunity to see her and Uncle Ken when they visit :)


Some Florizone's visiting amongst each other


Penelope giving up on the day.....Despite sleeping til 930 and having a 4 hour nap - Christmas was wearing her out!


Finley opening her Christmas present from Great Grandma Janet.  It was a nice way to kill time  before supper was served


Penelope loves her new duck!


Playing with Grandma Jen


Greg + Nicole's boyfriend Austin playing with Finley's tablet.


Getting ready to do our annual Dutch Auction.  I am  normally not a fan of it because I kid you now when I say the Florizones are crazy but because we were missing 11 people this year, it wasn't so intense.  It was the first one I enjoyed since I attended my very first one at Ken + Marleen's years ago. 



Jen opened the very first gift


Finley showing off her new accessories


Penelope trying to escape


The master Dutch Auctioner.  Greg has learned a lot from Uncle Bruce


I actually ended up doing quite well at the Dutch Auction.  I picked my gift that I had brought and let Penelope play with it so nobody would take it from us.  It was a stuffed Gingerbread Chef that was a Christmas Decoration.  I collect Gingerbread Christmas items so I was very happy that I got to bring it home with me.  Last year Greg's Aunt stole my Gingerbread santa plate and I was disappointed!!
