Christmas Festivities

Do you recognize a fresh-shaven member of the family?

On Christmas morning, the kids did not get up until 7am, which is late especially for Sam. Anna immediately heard a "purr" from one of the wrapped packages and knew it was her Fur Real Cat, which she named Snowball. The cat is quite lifelike and entranced baby Julia.

The family had two rounds of opening presents, the first included gifts from our family up north. The second round came along with Yumi, Mari, Rob, Julia, and my parents. At one point the room was consumed with gifts but surprisingly we were able to make space afterwards for Wii Fit Plus. We enjoyed a Honeybaked ham brunch which included a baked potato bar, pasta salad, and cupcakes. We managed to get a group shot which included camera-shy Sam but he was a good sport about it.

It's been a wonderful winter break with great family times!
