Now Bring Us Some Figgy Pudding

8:00 am Christmas morning. The other two kids were about to bolt upstairs, so we had to wake the little guy, lest he miss any of the action.
Waiting . . . waiting . . . waiting . . . Michael tacked a sheet up over the stairwell to guarantee no little bodies made their way upstairs in the night.
T got the blue ball that he asked for, but the big hit was his new art easel.
I gave Michael a giclee print of an 1875 map of Jamaica.
Santa gave Seth a Vulcan Nerf blaster. That thing shoots 27 darts per clip, 3 darts per second. What was Santa thinking? This picture also documents a traditional Christmas morning mess.
The big cat fanatic got a leopard print faux fur coat, a robotic tiger cub, and a cheetah baby with a bottle. She was a good girl this year.

We have those nerf guns. Our house is littered in nerf darts. I found it only fair to buy Scott one also so he could properly defend himself, but unfortunately teh animals are left defenseless.

Fun! But no present could ever top the singing Elmo you hid behind your couch :)
