Christmas 2007

What a joyous season! The look on my sons' faces was wonderful.

Nick wearing Daddy's shoes

Baby Harris (thumb in mouth as usual)

Who needs reindeer, I've got a horsie!

It's Christmas morning, I'll keep my eyes shut tight and hope Santa brought me some presents.

Harrison's first Christmas

Okay mom, we're up, we're ready, let's stop taking pictures and open presents.

I guess Nick was afraid we'd take his gifts away from him (he was rather naughty this year)

Taking his rescue tower with him

Children have always been told if you get coal in your stocking it's because you've been bad. Nick ASKED for coal in his - why? Because that's what Thomas and Percy the trains get in their stockings.

Ooh, I get presents too?

Hey, I've got tools

And the re-gifting begins... We started with a lovely crystal plug in snowman

And ended with Chris receiving the bat phone (yes, the 1980s Batman phone)

Mom and Dad

Harris was so excited with his animals. He was even "talking" to them.

And the picture of the season (you know we couldn't go a week without a Nickism). Nick decided to pee outside (thanks to the men in our family who thought it was a great idea). My dad's dog Goldi got in the way so both Goldi and Nick got wet. Here's how Nick was brought to me.

And what Christmas is really about - family.
