Christmas Eve

PART ONE 

Where would we all be without a visit from someone's fun-loving grandpa/favorite uncle/crazy cousin etc. who's willing to don a Santa costume and pass out a pillowcase of presents? 
 Caleb playing with T's fishing game...I think one of these is going to be a birthday present... 
 Distract the Wee Ones a.k.a. story circle time 
 Looking for Santa...
Um....not so sure about this...
The kids really had a wonderful time!  We got home later than usual after detouring around some of the awesome, three million megawatt Christmas light displays in the neighborhood...the kids just call out "Christmas!!" when they see a glowing display.  We even saw one that had a flashing light display along all the windows and trim timed to Christmas carols blaring from a tinny speaker.  Yowza. 

PART TWO 

10:04 p.m.
 "Honey, don't forget you have to set up the trampoline..."
 10:18 p.m.
The 5-lb. bag of hardware that came with it...
10:27 p.m.
Finally starting to take shape.  After this it became a two-person job. 
 7:15 a.m.
The things you do.  Yes, that is a Pillow Pet.  The ones that are basically on between every show on Sprout.  There was no way we were getting away with not getting one for Zoe, who asked for it every day for the past 3 weeks...
