Christmas Day

Christmas Day.  Present opening  goes on forever (despite last year's picking of names for the adults), if you blink you will miss something (especially if you are filming and taking pictures), we have a snack/coffee refill half way thru (I certainly take part in that) , there is so much wrapping that gifts get thrown out by mistake (not sure who lost what this year)and when you think it is over there is always one more :)  It's the best.

LOTS of joke gifts...especially sister to sister.

My nephew Conor (in photo holding one of his Dad's gifts) brought his elephant from home that Santa brought him...  Amelia and Olivia were enthralled with it.

Lots of hamming it up and posing for the camera and each year it seems we have a new addition to the group.  This year it was Ciara sitting on her Dad's lap in the last pic.  More presents under the tree!

By afternoon everyone gets cranky and silly.  Time for dinner.

Didn't get any pics of Amelia in the wee morning digging thru her stocking or finding her dollhouse under the tree that Santa had left :)  I caught it all on video though and will surely be popping up somewhere in the future.
