Laine loved her presents this year. She got a magician's kit, a journal, some books and toys and a book that she could be the author and illustrator of. She's absolutely loving it! We'll post pictures when she's done with it.
Eve was delighted with every single present. My technique for never disappointing the kids on Christmas is simply not setting any expectations. I don't even ask them what they want. Then, if I only end up getting them like 3 books and 2 toys each, they're completely thrilled because that's 3 more books and 2 more toys than they get on a regular day. I think I may only be able to get away with this for another year or two before their friends start telling them about all the iPods and Barbie cars that they're getting for Christmas.
Here's Eve with her Dada.
James is a total puzzle champ. This is a little video of him doing this puzzle for the first time ever.This December, I was super duper busy and stressed out, so I didn't get a single holiday card sent out and many presents are still en route, so sorry everyone. Yet again, I have failed at Christmas. Next year, I'm going to get my ducks in order before Halloween. I hope ya'll have a fun New Year's this week.

How adorable! Little James put that puzzle together QUICK! Sounds like they had a blast... and don't worry, I've never sent out Christmas cards. I don't feel they're necessary :)

Merry Christmas guys! I'm glad James still likes puzzles and the girls are as adorable as every!
Merry Christmas and we love you!
Merry Christmas! Looks like everyone was overjoyed on Christmas morning. That's a good strategy you've got there. I know, once everyone starts getting really high-tech stuff, we're not going to be able to get away with painted wooden cars. Dang those social circles.
