At one point 4 year old Conlan squeezed his fisted hands to his cheeks and jumped up and down with blissful excitement. He could hardly stand it!
When Santa arrived in Wisconsin the kids sent Conlan home to bed and all rushed upstairs to read "The Night Before Christmas". Snuggled in their make-shift beds the Mom's could only hope they were sleeping with visions of sugar plums in their wee little heads. Christmas day was blessed with a crazy gift opening frenzy. While snacking Tristan found himself wishing for his one front tooth for Christmas.
When the kids finished opening their gifts it was a little difficult to find a few things including one-year old Kyla.
I could barely find my living room!
The day proceeded from one tradition to another. The McCoy's gifted us with the, to date, worst Christmas movie ever. "The Dangerous Christmas of Little Red Riding Hood". Christmas is never complete without the annual wrapping paper fight which miraculously left the tree in one piece. Tristan caught his Auntie Sasha totally by surprise with a behind her back rim by wrapping throw.
Speaking of throws, Uncle Bear (Jeremy) created a new jingle bell tune of his own using Kyla.
The most exciting happening for all the adults was a mid-day Christmas nap. Good zzzz's were had by all.
After naps the guys got cozy with a Christmas toast.
The adults finally exchanged gifts later in the day, due to a bad case of the lazies. An early executive dinner decision by all members left all tummies full on BLT's and milk shakes. Now with everyone on relax mode I leave you with a toast to the new year. Happiest of joys in 2009!
