Young Family Pictures: Six Christmases

You may have heard of or seen the new movie Four Christmases. We laugh at the thought of a mere four Christmases. Four?!? That's nothing. We have SIX. Yes, six! Two Christmas Eve, two Christmas Day, one the day after Christmas and one yet to come. It's part of the joy of having multiple blended families. It takes a little coordination and a lot of communication, but we know we are blessed and lucky to have so many people in our lives.

A few favorite pictures.....(there are more, but I am not done uploading!)

Norah really enjoyed Christmas. We finally saw Santa a few days before Christmas (all of my other attempts were dashed by bad weather and Norah getting sick) and she enjoyed it. The rest of the holiday, she would say "Ho! Ho!" with her whole body whenever we asked her what Santa says. She also got the hang of gift opening. You can imagine she received a few packages at so many Christmas celebrations. It did not take her long to figure out there is good stuff under that paper.

Norah and Grandma in their westie wear. Grandma and Grandpa were happy to her Norah say their names (or her best attempts...Grandpa is lovingly called "Ba Ba") on their trip home from Arizona.

Norah & Jessie read "How to Make an A" on Christmas morning. (I wish the lighting was better in this picture!) Jessie flew in from Boston that morning. The next day Elliot arrive from Portland by way of DC. We were glad the rough weather did not interrupt their travels.
