Christmas!

Dirty Mommy Seal is now a Dr.

the boys made gingerbread houses with Mom

We got the boys new toy shelves and put one together late at night.  Then decided they were getting enough other things that the put together shelf would not be crucial for Christmas morning.

The children nestled all snug in their bed...they insisted on sleeping together

Zane had the great idea to leave their letters to Santa out by the tree so he could read them when he arrived and then get something out of his toy bag. Santa answered their letters too.

Sneaking some of the gingerbread house.

Zane's house had some engineering troubles but finally stayed together.

Michael carves his turkey. He was in charge of the turkey and Mom and I did the other dishes.

building a contraption with their new building set

Z got a Dr suit from Santa

Jessie got a new fleece blanket on the couch so she would no longer cover the couch itself in her hair.

Not cooperating too well for pictures today

It was nice to have a relaxing, fairly quiet Christmas at home with my mom and we even got snow on Christmas Eve, but we did miss seeing other family, so it didn't quite seem like Christmas to me!
