I’m obviously a little late on this one…
Our annual Christmas marathon was filled with lots of fun and family. Here are the pictures we got from 4 of the 5 celebrations we were a part of (by the 5th we were so tired that we completely forgot to pull out the camera…oops).
Christmas #1 (12.24.10)
We must have been very, very good this year:
Apparently Santa left a stocking for Liam at Gran and Granddaddy’s house. On the 24th.
The free Bob The Builder coloring book was a HUGE hit:
Matt sees it as his parental duty to take full advantage of this…
Liam finally realizes that there is a reindeer on his head:
Look Gran, it’s my footprint!
Gran love:
Liam begins on his path to fulfill Matt’s dream that he become a GP:
Giving Granddaddy a check-up:
Checking his own teeth:
Helping Greatdaddy:
“Whatchoo lookin’ at, Mama?”
Helping Greatmama:
Liam cracks open the dress-up box:
Trying on his spoils:
Connolly Firemen:
Three thumbs up:
Bob The Batman:
Matt’s not enjoying this at all…
“Oh, Wow!”
“I love GGMom’s bag!”
Bob and his Dad:
Liam The Builder:
He doesn’t look excited, does he?
Paige helps Gran open her present:
Bob works on the trolley track:
One of my favorite gifts:
What can I say? The girl loves a good ribbon:
Bob works on the tree:
Greatmama and Greatdaddy open the biggest Shutterfly album ever:
Paige and Granddaddy:
Paige loves her present…but she loves her Gran more!
Liam introduces Paige to Sophie:
After three years of making do, I finally got a rain jacket!
The Cat In The Hat:
Christmas #2 (12.25.10):
More important than breakfast? More important than stockings? More important than eyes that are completely open? That’s right: The Cat In The Hat.
Baby’s first Christmas (you can tell she’s psyched)!
Liam refused to check out his stocking until he was fully outfitted as Bob The Builder:
Bob helps Mama open her present:
“Hey, Mama! You got a guitar!”
I’ll soon be dismayed to learn what it takes to properly play Indigo Girls songs, but at this moment I’m blissfully unaware:
Bob carefully inspects his gift tag:
Hot Wheels!
Christmas #3:
“Hey Ben! Will you help me with this?”
“What’s up, Mama?”
Teapot!
The adorable factor here is kind of unbelievable…
Toe warmers!
Paige Bug:
Album unveiling #2:
Christmas #4:
Began with brie (as good things often do…):
And ended with cake (as great things must do…):
Funny footprints:
Paige and Pop:
Priceless:
Paige and Grammie:
Aunt G., Paige, and her Namibian twin:
Cutie Pie:
“I don’t know what this is yet, but I know I’m gonna like it!”
Superhero Chutes & Ladders (well played, Grammie & Pop, well played…):
The origin of Liam’s dance skills has long been a mystery. No longer.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
