Christmas in Grand Rapids

The day after Christmas we met up with Grandma Carole and Grandpa Jack at a hotel in Grand Rapids. This was great because we were able to go swimming. Uncle Rodney and Aunt Crystal came too (since they drove Grandma Carole) and they brought cousin Steven with them.

Christmas in Brighton

As tradition would have it, we again celebrated Christmas Eve and Christmas day with Grandpa Dick and Grandma Barb in Brighton. This year the crowd was plentiful with the Fazikas (Chris, Kathy, Erica), the McEuens (Steve, Kelly, Ben, Sam, Emily, Jake, Chloe), the Otts II (Rick, Chawn, Xena, Gabby), the Otts III (Ricky, Gina, Riley) and also Jessica and Timmy.

More Christmas

Here are a few more pictures and clips of our Christmas in Muskegon with Great Grandpa Herb and Great Grandma Minnie; and our Christmas with Susanne and Myranda (but no Ellie). Also included a short Happy Birthday clip for Uncle Chris, Uncle Steve, Emily and Chloe.

Merry Christmas

Continuing our normal tradition, last night we had our Christmas with the kids. Then Santa came early last night so the kids had a few more gifts to open this morning. Andrew got a PSP, some games, legos and clothes. Abby got a laptop, design stuff, makeup, clothes and a Snuggie. Mom got Super Scrabble, a frog necklace a tea mug, tea and a Snuggie. Dad got a massager, some shirts, a mini Red Wing truck, a calendar and an mp3 speaker. Next stop Brighton, Grand Rapids and Muskegon (among others).

Abby Christmas Choir Concert

Abby had her school Christmas Choir Concert tonight. She looked beautiful and sang lovely!

Happy Thanksgiving!

2009 Thanksgiving at the Hollywood Four household (with lots of Otts and McEuens on hand as well). Traditions held true once again: Too much good food, Lions lose, Black Friday shopping, Lake Frogerick Christmas Tree raised, Loogie's Spa and another "Chloe Show" (highlights from the latter contained below).
