On the Second Visit of Christmas...


Here is Mr. Pirate Cowboy Andrew intently exploring the workings of his new fire truck. (Unfortunately, this fire truck was promptly broken-but that's kids for you!).
Here's me and Zack at our silliest!


Michael was not camera shy that night! :)


Philamena loaded up on jewelry-every little girl's dream!







So after Zack came and Jason's family left, the kids went to work at opening gifts from their uncle (in Philamena's case, gifts that he'd been storing up on since her birthday-including a purple parasol with her name handpainted on it, from Disneyland no less) and continued to play with their other new gifts. Then we had a lovely Chinese dinner, made by our in house gourmet, Jason. :) Then it was bedtime for the boys, and a salsa lesson for the ladies! We got Philamena's on video but mine were taken by my Mom, who I forgot to tell not to tip the camera on it's side during a video as it will just come out sideways. But what can you do? Zack is really tall, and I was struggling to accommodate his height when recording him teaching Philamena. It was a fun and busy night. Philamena has all the necklaces and bracelets a girl could hope for-as you will see in the pictures-and I got a chance to learn a new dance step! It was great fun! Visions of salsa dancers were what played in my head that night, and now that new step is memorized!

Your kids are so darling! And Zack looks "all grown up." I miss you, my friend! I haven't even really been up on emails lately and I'm feeling the serious pull to find some time to talk on the phone to you instead! Thanks for posting!
