Christmas 2016

Christmas seems like a thousand million years ago at this point but I was looking for some love and light and a break from alternative facts today and re-found our pictures, thought I would share.

These guys got all dressed up for the grandparent/grandchild + Uncle Nat & Auntie Danise lunch.  Looking sharp!

 The whole lunch crew.  Or the Von Trapp Family Singers?

 On our way to "Chumple" on Christmas Eve.  (Church had a fire, Temple Beth El had room at the Inn and welcomed us for Christmas Eve.  Church in a temple.  Kind of awesome and full of light and love.)

 Cheese for dinner.  Also full of light and love.  We had 31 for heavy apps, chicken/vegan pot pies, and lots of dessert.  As usual, we way over did the food but no regrets on the cheese.

 Reading the Night Before Christmas with Zeke.

 Followed by Zeke's annual lighting of the dessert on fire.  It burned for a long time this year.

 Waking daddy up on Christmas morning.  They brought him his clothes and stuffed him in.

 No one was excited here...

 Tolerating mom's crazy need to document every second/torture everyone.

 Still tolerating.  Giving dad time to inject coffee.

 Santa came!

 Even socks are awesome when Santa brings them.

 Underwear too.

 And little bags of mystery legos.

 And big boxes of legos.

 And Calico Critters.

 And legos.

 Building.  (Fancy sweats by Uncle Mike.)

 Play Mobil and wear what you get.

Everyone was dressed warmly because this was the second year in a row of our heater breaking Christmas morning.  Dave fixed it by stealing a spark plug from our car.  #oldmanskills  Note: When you do something twice on Christmas it's a tradition.  We ended Christmas with dinner and bingo at 690.  Lots of light and love to celebrate.
