Merry Christmas!

Ok, so it's actually the Happy New Year. But since I decided to throw a fondue party for 30 people last night (Not a great idea if you haven't ever made fondue before.) But, hey it's being together that counts right?!? So,we had lump o' cheese. It tasted great, you just couldn't dip in the cheese, it was more cut the cheese. So, point being, I was throwing a party and didn't get any pictures of the party.
Anyway back to Christmas. We had a great Christmas. It was the first year we had a kid who really got the idea of presents. James was totally entranced with his presents, and even more so with his sisters' presents. Here are some pics--in reverse order because I forget to load them the other way around.
Justin with a power tool.
Aunt Debbie with some of her loot. Notice the cool antique suitcase in the background which I covet.
Mommy with the kids.


Grandma breaking in the relaxation wrap Santa brought her for when little James has really done her in.

Grandpa practicing napping with his car napping kit Santa brought him for long trips on the road.

The girls investigate their stocking loot--Mostly stuff for eating solids. Isn't Santa practical?


James takes ownership of his tent and table. It's ok James if you want to stay in there a play for LONG stretches of time.


Kate helps James open his present. Isn't she sweet? Or maybe she's just getting back at him for all the times he's taken her toys away.

Mommy and Daddy lead the kids into to see their stockings on Christmas morning.

One word Debs. Revenge. I must be related to the person who posted pictures of me dressing up as a 10 year old in tights and a tutu on their facebook page. Sound familiar???

I must agree that Debbie deserves every picture posted of her on the web...just you wait to see what we can all find! Jess, looks like a great Christmas. As always, we wish we could have been with you. Miss you. And maybe you and I can make a pact that we will promise to always post nice pictures of each other.
