Christmas Morning

This year we celebrated Christmas Day at Gia and Pop pop's house, dividing four bedrooms and three bathrooms between two nursers, two fit throwers, three bed wetters, six mommies and daddies, one uncle and two grandparents.

Oh, and one giant horse.


Whether it is more appropriate to say "no one slept more than necessary" or "no one necessarily slept" depends, I suppose, on the lot into which you were divided, but it is certainly necessary to say that sleep did not interfere with any of the fun.

Here are some pictures from our Christmas morning.


Luci's new push cart and thrift store baby doll suitcase, accompanied by her two favorite baby dolls from home.



Isabelle's baby doll bed and matching thrift store suitcase with "Baby Ruth" from home. The matching suitcases thrilled Isabelle until we both realized they gave a less discerning one year old excuse to nab them both and reason to be indignant when reproached.


Of the multiple possibilities for Peter's new Kinex, these are the two creations settled upon by his uncles, primarily because the Wii was turned on in the back room, not because their imaginations were satisfied.

The kids are still amazed that the airplane was hanging from the ceiling.


Isabelle, processing with baby Jesus to lay him in his manger on Christmas morning.


The rest of His procession.


Peter has built at least two things with his Kinex every day since Christmas.



PT enjoying a ride on a couch,... oh, I mean a horse.


Isn't he cute in his new jacket!



Baby Maher's first Christmas.


The Queen
She enjoyed the day.



In the end, we all found a way to catch some rest.

TWO fit throwers? You are feeling merry!

Avery can come over any time you need to put Jer down.

the little queen looks exceptionally pleased with the day she must be with her beloved jester, Uncle Matty.
