Christmas

After going through some pictures, I decided that I needed to publish these pictures (since I figured Mandy would like to see them!)

We've got a picture pretty similar to this one for each Christmas we've lived in this house...since Ben was 5. That would make 17 pictures - two of them without Ben - of the kids in their jammies before they opened presents. I love to see their 'Christmas Jammies'. I hope they like to get them as much as I like to make them!

Remember when we opened presents one at a time, one person at a time? That method went out the window in our family about the third Christmas after we had kids. Now it's about a 10 minutes free-for-all! We can finally sleep in until about 8:00, instead of waking up at the crack of dawn, thank you Savanah! It does make it a little more complicated for Santa to come deliver all the gifts when the kids stay up until midnight.

After the gifts under the tree, we move to the stockings. This year, 'Santa' gave me some jewelry and John some screwdrivers. That was pretty funny...who was my Santa? (Me!) Who was John's Santa? (John!) Can you see the matching jammie bottoms for John and Ben? After I cut them out, Tessa saw the fabric and said she'd like some of the same. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough and she had to settle for pink hearts with black cross-bones.
Someone even saw fit to 'wrap' puppy in a ribbon. She didn't like it much, look at how she's cowering!
Anyway, a Merry Christmas it was! Hope yours was the same!
