Christmas Day

Merry Christmas! Our family had an eventful, and very filling, Christmas. Both of these resulted from three Christmas dinners. Due to unforeseen laziness on my part, there will be no Christmas Eve pictures posted until I receive them from Caroline. :) I find when someone else is willing to take pictures, my camera remains hidden.

Our girls were very spoiled this year. Santa filled their stockings to the brim and gave each girl a Cabbage Patch doll. We'd like to thank everyone, family and friends, who were very generous in their Christmas offerings. All are appreciated and will go to good use (edible, wearable and usable). Here are some pictures from our eventful morning.

Santa Came!

We spent the evening at Robyn's Aunt Sandra & Uncle Barry's house. We had a lovely time eating, chatting and playing Guitar Hero on the Wii. Catherine charmed everyone and both girls enjoyed the running around the kitchen, sitting in the rocker and chatting with Mr. Snowman.

The Favourite Chair

Yup...they still like each other.

Mr. Snowman was great entertainment for the girls

His hat comes off, right?
