Happy Christmas

And Merry New Year! What happened to the holidays? Is it really possible they've already come and gone?!? Since the corner of my computer is saying 2012, I guess so... We had a wonderful Christmas with Shawn's parents joining us here at home.

Christmas morning started with a peek into the stockings.
There was plenty of candy to be found (and promptly consumed!).
And the big guy in the red suit delivered in the toy department, too.
Between opening more loot and stuffing themselves with sweets, the kids paused briefly for a family photo (but you can see the level of cooperation we had to work with!).
Over the next few days we sat back and relaxed amid the mess, played plenty of cards, and headed to the River of Lights for some more holiday cheer.
Even the dinosaurs got into the Christmas spirit.
Thanks again, Mike and Kathy, for coming down to help make our days even more merry and bright! -Amelia

I have been waiting for this post. Love to see you and the kiddos all in your pajamas Christmas morning. Looks like you too had a memorable and enjoyable Christmas. I can't believe it's already 2012 too. Sadly, Christmas 2012 will be here in no time.

Looks like everyone had a wonderful time doing some fun activities (and eating candy of course). Cute family photos!
