Christmas morning

"Noiselessly, they crept down the stairs . . ."
(One of our favorite quotes from one of our recent favorite books, Olivia's Christmas.)

Santa came!

Spencer was mildly disappointed Santa didn't bring him the ($200) remote-control dinosaur, but was somewhat appeased when he saw that Santa did bring him a remote-control truck - and a fireman helmet.

Opening the authentic Vermont maple-syrup from Paul and Rachel

Emma with the gift she was most excited for - her new Fancy Nancy book.

Michael's favorite gift.

I think that one of my favorite aspects of Christmas morning is watching our kids give the gifts they picked for others and the hugs and 'thank-yous' that follow.



Some video for Grandma Rosie and Poppy Dave who couldn't be with us in person.
