It was a little hard to capture the sheer craziness of our Christmas this year. This picture makes it all look so modest, so you'll just have to trust us that it was an embarrassment of presents. We had Amy and Jamie and Felix and Kathi and Annie here along with Julie and Thor and Scarlett. Poor Felix and Scarlett were a little hesitant about the whole thing, but Finn and Jack tore into their presents with crazed gusto. Just when things were starting to die down a little bit, Bell and Steve showed up with more excellent gifts.
This was around the time Thor went home to bed (he had to drive all the way back to Orange County on Christmas Eve to get Julie's present) and poor Ms. Scarlett said, "No more, Momma. Upstairs."
Patrick and I were surprised that the boys went to bed so easily on Christmas Eve night. We were not as surprised when we woke up at 2:30 in the morning to hear rustling sounds from downstairs accompanied by "tee-hees". Here are Finn and Jack modeling the teddy bear and snake that they found in their stockings.
Here are the lovely Campbell, Gambel girls. We truly missed Mike and Molly and Petur and Great Peepa Hank this year, but we still managed to have a pretty festive soiree.
Scarlett got a super cool pink horse costume.
Finn and Jack got scooters. Finn's makes sparks. Watch out!
More presents!
The beloved pink horse costume.
Jack loves his new teddy bear. The boys loved their sparking scooters and robotic bugs and other fun presents, but I still think their favorite gifts were the pillow pets and other stuffed animals. I wish we had some better pictures of Felix from Christmas morning because he was quite a sight to be seen. He got a top hat and a shiny red cape for Christmas, along with an awesome kitchen set, which he likes very, very much. Nice work, Santa!
After the crazy present opening frenzy, we had a little energy to work off so we took advantage of the one nice day inbetween all of our rain and we took the boys for a Christmas swim. This is Jack doing his "I'm so happy to see Finn" dance.
And this is Finn the fish, doing what he likes to do best - swim! Merry Christmas everyone!

Thanks, Santa, for all the awesome gifts, and a big thanks to Patrick and Em for letting us come and trash their house on Christmas morning. It was really great!

Here's a link to Jamie's blog and a pretty good picture of Felix in full Christmas regalia.
