Holiday Highlights.

 
 
 
 
We visited with Santa, went out to lunch, and rode the train.
 
 
Our elf, Carly, was quite mischevious all month! The kids loved it when she hung their underwear where their stockings should be, rode a firetruck with Elmo, drew on their cousins' faces, made a big mess of hot chocolate, wrote on their bathroom mirror in toothpaste, and boobie-trapped their rooms with streamers!
 
 
 
 
It was Anna Gray's very first Christmas!
 
 
 
 
 
She didn't have a ton of interest in opening gifts, but she handled all the running around really well.
And... she crawled!
 
 
Five strait days of family, food, sugary sweets, cousins cousins everywhere, shreds of paper, and smiles!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Aaand... this:
 
 
 
I love love love some Christmas mornin' chaos!
 
 
 
The big kids were up at FOUR A.M. with big grins on their faces. And they were still smiling when I sent them right back upstairs and told them to wait an hour. We didn't want to wake AG up at 4:00, but also didn't want her to miss it!
 
At 5:15, they came back down...
 
 
Christmas goodies: a Spiderman/Capt America bowtie, makeup, Elmo, and lots of Monster High!
 
 
Hope your Christmas was as merry as our's!
 
 
 
 
If my heart gets any more full in 2013, it just might actually burst.
