We had a Christmas Eve party with the Chambers. We had our traditional Christmas Breakfast Casserole and then the kids acted out the nativity. There is my adorable Mary. Eddy is Joseph with the donkey and sang his favorite primary song, "When Joseph Went to Bethlehem."
My nephews had to appear ma-tour and wise, thus the facial hair.
The night was not so merry for Eddy who puked five minutes after our first guest arrived and ended the evening with a few more rounds of not so pleasant projecting. Then bright and early Christmas morning we awoke to the glorious sound of another round of retching from our sweet binzee-pie. After a quick change she mustered up a smile for the camera and then it was on to presents!
Lindsay got a Fisher Price ferris wheel that plays pretty music, treats, and a brand new purse with a tube of lipstick about as big as a roll of toilet paper. She lovingly pulls each item out and loves to share each treasure. 
Eddy was overjoyed with every treat imaginable, plenty of new little people toys from Fisher Price, a new video game, and a present so big it couldn't even fit on Santa's sleigh, a brand-new big-boy bed! 
This picture pretty much sums up our Christmas, wishing for treats we shouldn't eat because of upset tummies, a snot bubble, and in the background a couch cushion cover is missing because it is running through the wash trying to get the stench of last night's sickness washed out. 
But no matter, Eddy was in heaven playing his new Lego Indiana Jones which he told Aunt Emily, "This is just what I was dreaming of." 
Later in the truck Eddy couldn't stop smiling and said, "I must have been the best boy this year because I got the biggest present!" I am so happy that despite the puke or things not going as perfectly planned, my kids were still overjoyed. I thought Christmas as a kid was the best, but giving Christmas to your kids can not be beat. And here is my princess in her new purple coat that Aunt Hayley made, (that's right, made!) and modeling her new penguin pj's.
The End
