Christmas Closing

Alright, I put the rest of my Christmas junk in my journal. It was getting so boring. I mean not boring for us, but my writing was beginning to read like an Al Gore novel.

I love this crazy bad picture of the kids. Fake smiles, Lily looking off in the wrong direction, and Ethan looks like he's about to fall backwards after too much egg nog. If you zoom in I'm sure you won't miss all the extraneous boogers and drool stains.

Lily enjoyed wrapping presents very much. She called it "making presents" as in, "Doh 'way, guys! Making presents!" She didn't much care what they were so long as she got to tape profusely. She got a hat, a scarf, sunglasses, and a backpack for Christmas. She's looked like this for 4 days:

Jakey wins the prize for the best Christmas quote of the year. A few days before Christmas he blurts out, "I hope my Christmas present isn't a pie with a spring on the bottom that splats in my face when I open it." Too much Looney Toons?

I love Jakey's quote. You're family is so fun! We'll miss you as neighbors...all those random doorbell dings for eggs, oil, milk, etc. Whatever shall we do?

Sarah "helped" me with the wrapping by ripping off a piece of tape and attaching it to the tape holder, thus making it easy for me to simply grab. Great in theory until she makes so many layers I can't use any of it.

As for Jake, it sounds like you haven't had enough Looney Toons. I mean, did a pie actually spring out of the box? Then you're lacking in Toons time.

I want the rest of your cool advent!!

I love that picture of your kids. Ours was one that required the "action setting" on camera... not a single one with everyone in one place! :)
