The Disastrous Autograph Book Suprise

For two month's we told the kids their Disney autograph books had gone AWOL when Lisa's luggage was lost for a few days. Meanwhile we filled them with photographs and stickers (the books, not the kids), personalizing each, and gave them to them last night. The reaction? Unexpected.

YaYa and Smiley labelled us as liars and said it was a betrayal, while LuLu, foot in mouth, backpedaled on an earlier statement that she didn't care about their loss. My Junie reacted with wonder and glee, and successfully reconstructed some of the clues that should have given the game away. YaYa was so p.o'd , as a matter of fact, that she refused to pose for pictures on Christmas morning. 

What a bunch of kooks. LOL

100 Years Today

Today is the 100th anniversary of the spontaneous Christmas truce in the trenches of WWI.

Christmas Pajamas!

Every Christmas Eve the kids open one present after Mass: a pair of pajama's, so they don't look like homeless bums in their Christmas morning photos. Smiley wasn't thrilled with his this year, until he tried them on later

Up from a ninety minute nap taken as the kids watched a movie Shirley bought them for Christmas. Now prepping for more company.
