They also got some M&M chapstick in their stocking - mmmmmm.....chocolate flavor! Levi has slathered his lips up well - with brown rimmed lips to boot.

It was difficult to get Levi to willingly pose for a picture - here was one.
The boys being silly - while trying to cooperate for pictures.
We celebrated on Christmas Day at our house with my family. Here are the four youngest grandkids in line waiting for their turn at a present. Caleb was our "Santa" and handed out the gifts.
My brother Joe and his wife Ofelia.
My parents and the Murphy dog with his festive coat.
Jim and I and my friend Missy who spent the holidays with us.
The boy cousins grubbin on some food.
We were enjoying some dessert - while playing Apples to Apples.
Missy made the trek out to Sacramento from Wichita a few days before Christmas and stayed for a week. She had just got engaged - so we had lots of catching up to do and researched some options for her upcoming wedding. It is always great to spend time with her - and we pick up where we left off. She will be starting a new phase in her life soon - and we may not get as many of these opportunities to share this holiday together in the future.
Auntie with her buddy Jacob.
Auntie with Levi.
The boys love it when Missy visits. Although - Jim and I feel a bit less than important.
Missy and I went out shopping for a short time - and when we returned - Jacob would run up and give Missy a hug - and not even hardly say "hi" to me.
One of the things they loved to do was play games on Auntie's phone.
Very hard to get pictures with Levi this year. He has a mind of his own these days - and does what he wants on his terms.
It was wonderful spending the week off with Missy this year. After being roommates for over 12 years, it is saddening that we aren't nearby anymore.
She took a few pics of the family on her last day here. Here we all are - mostly paying attention and smiling...
And - going with how the boys took pictures this year - let's all make goofy faces - so here we go!
And - leaving you with a video of Levi opening his Leapster Explorer. Very fun to watch his expression.
Merry Christmas - and a Happy 2011 to you!
