Here’s this year’s family photo! Last year, Christina photoshopped Chloe into the family photo. This year, she was there, for reals!
We arrived very late (at about 2pm), but we’d fed the kids beforehand, so after Tom and I got our mimosas, we all posed for the family photo and then settled down for the gift-opening madness.
You can see that Lola bought matching outfits for the girls. She excels at stuff like that (my older sister and I had matching outfits all throughout our childhood!). Matching outfits is much more fun to see on your kids than yourself (so says me)!
There are A LOT of pictures (surprise, surprise!! It’s so easy with digital cameras!), so I’ll just post a few favorites. This one of Dylan looking through his candy kaleidoscope is one of them.
Good thing Chloe is good-natured! The kids think of her as another toy!
My nephew Rob got Tom an Aimee Mann album he’s been wanting!
And, finally, here are the jammy shots. Now Lola is getting matching jammies for the big boys and little boys.
And now, the little gals get their matching jammies while us big ‘uns get our usual newbies!
Before the big nephews left to spend some time with their dad, we took a few more photos.
Mom also wanted to take a photo of just us.
After presents at Cindy’s, we headed to Christina’s for dinner! Got home at midnight and kids only fell asleep in the car at about 11pm! And we wonder why we were late leaving for Los Angeles the next day!
