WHAT? WHO Stayed Over?

A full day has passed.

Christmas 2011

 is becoming a

Sweet Memory.

After opening gifts

we spent part of the

afternoon  eating

AND playing games.

We played

Bunco.

My son was the scorekeeper.

He cheats-although he

claims he doesn't.

Then we played

Life with the kids.

My son was banker.

He cheats-although he claims he

doesn't.

At the end of the dsy

everyone went home.

This monkey headed for home.

He took the new little

Chunky Monkey Charlie

with him.

The girls are home

playing with their new toys.

Lulu with her keyboard

and headphones.

Julia with her Cinderealla doll.

Sweet little Ria  with

her sore little mouth.

Her favorite gift was her

Spy Kids kit.

All is quiet now.

My Hero and I

 came home to a

tree with no presents under it.

A sign that the

Gifts of Love

have all been presented.

I grab my cup of coffee

and sit down to watch the news.

MyHero is off to work.

It is quiet here-no one chattering,

or crying,

or whining.

Suddenly I hear it..

OOH-OOH- AAH-AAH!

Huh?

What?

Well.....

I see ONE of the grandkids

got left behind.

Well, at least I can stick

THIS ONE in a box....

and enjoy my coffee in peace!

How about you?

Any monkeys left at

YOUR house?
