Christmas 2012

I have fallen off the picture taking band wagon.  It seems like it's been several months since I took a decent photo or made any attempt to capture something other than a quick snapshot.  Thus, sadly, our wonderful Christmas is left to be remembered in these few paltry shots:

Grandma and Grandpa spent the holiday with us, and we had a wonderful time.  I think this may be one of the first years we've hosted them for Christmas, and hopefully it will just be the first of many.  There was lots of cuddling and reading, along with special one on one time for each grand kid.


The kids were overjoyed when we told them they got to open a gift Christmas Eve - new jammies, a new tradition.

 Grandma helped The Littles check Santa's progress on the iPad.
 Sleepy Christmas morning.
 Grandpa had such a raucous good time Christmas morning......
 that it apparently wore him out.
It truly was a wonderful holiday this year.  We baked, laughed, visited family, got sick, Grandpa and Jake junked our old furniture (hallelujah!), Dad and Grandpa put together new bunk beds for the boys, and Grandma and I had a mad wrapping party when I realized it was the 23rd and I had not wrapped one.single.gift.  25 gifts in something like 45 minutes, quite possibly a new world record.
