Twas the Night Before Christmas...

...and all through the Gray's house--the children were playing, and we were ignoring them.

Team Gray stepped up to the plate and graciously hosted our second annual Taste of Italy Christmas dinner. 

They offered up crafts


 Delicious Italian Food


Delicious Norweigan babies


Delicious men from Ogden (Ogdentinian, if you will)



California 'Cousins'







Plenty of toys and other assorted fun








Ice Cream







ABC Family Classics--Rudolph and Frosty


Learning the art of the dogpile







We stuck with my family's tradition of opening one small gift on Christmas Eve, then packed up Beezie for the night.

Beezie must have been a very good girl, because Santa delivered!

We started with stockings




Then we moved on to the loot











It was a lazy and relaxing morning. B played non-stop with the creche, and changed Mary out for another shepard. Modern family!


We feasted on cocoa and holiday breakfast--delicious and festive


After lazing around, we had Team Andersen over for dinner, and to play with all of our new booty.


B loved her gifts. This year, the main ones were: Minnie's Bow-tique dolls, ramp and cars, train set, Mega Bloks, princess castle, a few movies, cash register, pirate ship, and Jake & the Neverland Pirates figurines. She's been in toy heaven all week long.

Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. From our family to yours!
