we had a fabulous christmas!! i only got pictures of the kids on christmas eve, i was pretty busy all week cleaning and preparing for christmas dinner. we invited two families over, for a total of 11 people. the menu was turkey dinner with all the trimmings, plus a few extras that others were bringing. kuri and her family came, and a new friend and her husband came.
i have video from opening presents on christmas morning, but i haven't uploaded them yet. the kids were well pleased with the presents, that's always nice! then we decided to go to royal host for breakfast, which was especially nice for me since i was going to be cooking pretty much all day. that put me behind schedule, though, so when guests started arriving, i was still tidying up! that's ok, not the guests fault, and nothing i couldn't slide into a closet and ignore until later.
the kids had a great time, playing with new friends and old. the turkey turned out great, and the stuffing was lovely. i made a mistake with the gravy and although it was delicious, it wasn't perfect. ah well, maybe next year.
here are pictures of the kids in their christmas clothes. thanks to grandma for the lovely dress!

How CUTE! Just darling!!! (I moved my blog)
So cute. Sasha is gorgeous and what a dress! Love Hiro's toothless grin. We are waiting on five teeth at the moment. Amy calls it her jack'o'lantern grin. And looking at Tommy always gives me a shock- he'snot a baby anymore!! Sounds like a lovely Christmas with great friends- perfect!
I love Sasha's dress too! You're mom sends the cutest holiday things for the kids! You have an awesome mom. : )
Between Hiro, Noah, Amy and Meg, we seem to have a bunch of jack o' lantern smiles.
And you can see how fun Tommy is. Such a silly boy. I love it. : )
What a wonderful Christmas you had. The food sounded delicious, turkey is always nice, yummm.
