OK guys, I'm going to be going a little picture crazy in this post, I've got 14 and I swear I really tried to cut them down. When you celebrate Christmas, you just sort of go a little picture crazy, so only the very best, or the best for story telling are here. I know you'll still enjoy them, even if it does take a little bit longer to view!

Grammy and Dido spoiled us again this year. We had beef burgundy and seafood alfredo (loaded with lobster, shrimp and scallops) for dinner. As you can tell, the boys were pretty dang excited. Poor Grammy had way too many cooks in the kitchen!

Maya showed up in a Christmas outfit. How can you not love that?

Max, Lyla, and Rory were the stars of the show last night. Of course being 3 and 2 years old, it is sort of hard for anyone else to compete. And thankfully they are really great about posing for pictures.

Oh, and yes, Rory is giving Lyla a choke hold in that photo.

Did I mention Rory's outfit? Because we were on outfit number three for the day by the time we finally made it and she insisted on the pink leg warmers with her dress. Hello 80's child!

Nora showed off her new skill, which I titled, The Upside Down Inch Worm. This girl lays on her back and then arches onto her head and heels to scoot herself forward!

No wonder she's losing all the hair on the back of her head! How cute is she?!

This year I had the kids pick out the gifts for their Godparents. Rory picked out pink fishing lures for her Godfather's and Max decided that Katie and Andrew need some black (Irish Cream) and green (Sour Apple Pucker) for their new bar. Andrew had a good laugh at that combination gift!

Nora was a champ and bounced around in a bouncer for a good part of the gift opening and once she got a bit fussy, don't you worry, Auntie Ashley was there to the rescue! (I do love squeezing that girl!)

Grammy was very excited to get her new Le Creuset pan.

And Dido got to open the present that all their grandchildren gave to them. I think it turned out pretty good, don't you? (Yes, I am biased as I was the photographer.)

Max, Lyla, and Rory all got new cowboy/girl boots from Grammy and Dido. Tell me they're not adorable!

And don't you worry, while Max, Rory and Lyla may have stolen the show Nora certainly wasn't far behind!

Of course we got another picture of Grammy and Dido with their Grandchildren! (Oliver wasn't able to celebrate with us this year so we're short one.) Katie and Andrew were in charge of the PJ's this year, aren't the Santa cows adorable?!

We all had a really great time! The kids have been talking about it all day while playing with all their new toys. And guess what? No headache from the all the new musical instruments. I think we may just be winning at Christmas this year!
