{What could the mysterious Christmas Eve present be???}

They've finally figured it out. I got the "MOM, can we open our pajamas yet?!?" about 500 times that day. I'm glad they were excited about it.

Well, 2/3 of them were anyway. Good thing we had a stunt double to stand in while Lou recovered from his mini break down (see him back there recovering with his daddy?) Thanks JackJack for lending us your amazing modeling skillz.



...and don't worry. Lou got over what-ever-it-was pretty quick.


Turns out I've got a whole house full of models on my hands. Brings to mind that old classic, "I shake my little tush on the catwalk!"


After Papa read us the first Christmas story from the Bible, it was time for our traditional "Sleepy Hot Chocolate."

Chubby bunny! (Mental note, buy mini marshmallows next year...)

Despite it's astronomically high sugar content, the kids swear it really works.

Then we sent them off to bed, with dreams of sugar-free plumbs dancing in their heads!
