The joyful tearing of paper is the soundtrack of Christmas Day.
The only photo I got of everyone, in which half of the family look as if they've been caught doing something illegal.
The future Band of Brothers: Cubby on guitar, Charlie on drums, Jack on tambourine.
Cubby practicing his rock star face, and Jack displaying his rock star flourish.
All that's left now is to play with all the gifts. (And read them, because the most popular gift in our families for our children is books, mostly non-fiction about animals, and they received a total of fifteen new books yesterday. We have a lot of reading to do.)
Looks like a wonderful time for all! Mary in MN
ReplyDeleteHoly cow. Fifteen books. That must be a record; however, you do have three kids so that kind of makes sense. Reading with your boys is the best - except for Jack, but I'm confident he'll be just as good and quiet as the other two when he grows a bit.
ReplyDeleteBooks - a mom much like me! I gave my niece (age 6) several books. Her favorite gift, however, was a small notebook with a box of colored pencils. She immediately set everything else aside and started writing "notes" in the mini notebook. It's okay. I know she'll read later.
