Pre-Christmas Adventures

I don't think Row is so sure about this fella! 




This is what they really wanted... some time at the inside mall park!



 






 And then we took them to the Fun Barn to see a movie. Believe it or not, the little ones were wonderful!

Morning Madness Part 2

Will Uncle Alex put Izzy's doll house together??







Auntie Amanda is once again Izzy's hero.

Morning Madness Part 1

The coveted Elf handler - who gets to pull out the gifts and call the names. Silas has owned this position for several years now... but as soon as Izzy can read, I think he'll have some competition. 


 The little one's faces crack me up.



This was pure joy. Only missing one of my kids - Shannan. The rest slept over and were up for cookies and coffee.








And she's done...

Family Christmas Eve Sleepover!

Reindeer antlers, rape whistles, holiday movies and Grandma's presents. It was a great night.




 Chrissy in her new footy PJ's. I think Amanda is jealous.



 The tree is loaded down with gifts... just waiting for the morning.
