Christmas Chaos

We wrote a special email to the Big Guy letting him know where we'd be....
it worked!

Look at all that loot!
Santa knew we had some very good kids this year!

A first Christmas for these two!

This guy was more of a spectator than a savage gift opener.

Stockings were first....I was still passed out and missed this part of the morning. But finally pulled myself out of bed in time for the gifts.

Then on to the good stuff!

Wow! Santa must have known how much fun we'd had on the new Toy Story ride.

Both my sisters have this amazing way of making Christmas super special. We were sad Lauren couldn't join us because she was in the last days of baby countdown and ineligible to fly. But she made all the kids crayon carriers and a cute coloring book about their Christmas trip to CA.

We drew names and boy did our boys score! Did I say Aunt Meg knows how to spoil them?

Star Wars stuff!

R2D2 Back Pack, Star Wars Cups and Dishes, & Clone Wars Books.

After all the big kids cleared out this guy perked up and got busy.
After much family debate we'd like to introduce the newest FRIEND to our family....
Luke Monkeywalker.
(Sorry Spank, Boba Fett, and Bobo didn't make the cut.)

Chris spent the rest of the day in the kitchen preparing our annual Italian Christmas Feast
while the kids partied in the hot tub and pool.
Amazingly, we cut our meal in half but felt just as full at the end.
Thanks Babe you made an amazing meal!
