Christmas Eve and Snow!

It snowed last night!
It is the first time that Williamsburg has had any snow accumulation on Christmas since 1942 or so!

The kids (and Mom) enjoyed playing in the snow and helping Dad shovel!

Christmas Eve!
The presents under the tree!

...and the food!

Christmas Morning
Joshua opening "Connect Four"

Brian getting his first (and probably only) Ford GT!

Boo was a little overwhelmed when she was yanked out of bed at 6:30 in the morning, whisked away to the living room and told to open her stocking! Once she realized there was candy in there, she was fine!

Boo's new Dora tent!Leah with her Belle BarbieAnd Mom and Dad relaxing on the couch amidst the chaos!

Merry Christmas

Here is our Christmas Tree!

(Yeah, I know it leans, if Italy can get away with it, why can't we?)

Dad, Mom, and Jenny reading a book

Our Nativity currently has tree baby Jesus figurines.

Boo figure the more Baby Jesus in the stable, the better!

Speaking of the Boo, here she is holding our Christmas Star!

Here's Leah and I on light duty!

And Jenny trying to dump the tree while getting the star up there!

Boo is very excited about Christmas this year.

When we asked her why we celebrate Christmas, she replied,

"So we can all get together and be happy together"

Here is her ornament for this year!

This is Mom's ornament from 1977

And here is Joshua's addition to our tree.

Since we are living in chaos, not all of us got ornaments.

Josh got one, but it broke before we got home.

Jenny, Jenny, Jenny

An ornament that Mom and Dad got for their wedding!

The completed tree!

Three Christmas Celebrations!

7 1/2 Months

1 1/2 years

2 1/2 years

What a difference almost 3 years makes!

O Christmas Tree

We took our Christmas tree down yesterday, so it is about time for me to blog about it...

Boo was fascinated by the lights!

Jenny liked the garland.

Mom and Leah liked laughing at the crazy antics that came about during the assembly of the tree.
