Christmas 2010: Part One

This year we're having four Christmas celebrations, that's right, four.  Two in Florida and two in Ohio.  Sunday we celebrated with Grandma and Papi Mr. and Mrs. Claus.  Barefoot Contessa catered the dinner (I wish, but we did use her recipes).  The girls asked us 87 times if we were finished eating so they could start opening presents...

What are these wondering eyes peering at, you ask?


The Clauses loaded down their minivan sleigh with a healthy dose of generosity.


It was a Christmas that we'll remember forever.
Lots of laughs.


Hugs.


Surprises.

(I love Uncle Kris' festive and classy t-shirt in the shot above.)







Daddy-time.






Sweet treats.




And "cheese" time.








The only thing that would have made this Christmas better was if Amar, Jena, Ram and Anushka were here. We'll be passing them in the sky, and hopefully will see them sometime this spring.  And with a little luck we'll be able to see Uncle Amar in Cinci.

Alright, gotta run. Hope you're having fun tying up all the loose ends before Christmas!

Merry, Merry!
