we had ourselves a merry little christmas

Conor and Megan are at the perfect age to completely enjoy the magic of Christmas. Unfortunately, the appointed photographer (aka. me) has not been very vigilant about taking photos this December. This lack of initiative is due to our ongoing uploading issues. I've decided to stop talking about it on the blog -- it is too painful. ;)
The best Christmas presents ever..... First, daddy was home with us to celebrate both Christmas Eve and Christmas day! And a close runner-up was the fact that our dear, angelic children slept until 8:30am Christmas morning! This gave Santa and Mrs. Claus some much-needed rest.

Enjoy Christmas at the Edmund Inn...... 2008

it all began with a visit with santa claus.

conor made his earnest request (for a pirate ship)

megan sat without tears, in awe

she told me that she wanted a bag of chocolate chips


the presents and our cute plump tree, ready for the kids


the joy of giving

...and the joy of receiving...
conor's "loot" --- i have happy memories of piling my goods and taking a picture of them. i smiled when i saw conor organizing his stuff.

megan's chocolate santa (an upgrade from chocolate chips) and me with the cool blanket my mommy made for us out of jeans. the tower of playmobil


sweet megan













handsome conor












merry christmas to all and to all a good night (and a happy new year)

Holy Playmobil Batman! (I'm wondering if I should have "invested" in Playmobil instead of Lego last year. Oh well. I s'pose there's always next year!) You look great - I am in beached whale status and haven't run in weeks. Ugh.
Darling darling darling.... we need to get together soon - next week?!?!?

Merry Christmas! I'm so happy to see Santa didn't disappoint (although I seriously would have been tempted to just go with the bag of chocolate chips; how easy is that!).

Jen- I love your children so much. Those pictures with Santa are so priceless. Meg looks like she just stepped out of a Macy's commercial. We sure hope you love the game! We love you and want to come and play with your loot.
