Christmas 2011

Maybe a before and after shot might be appropriate in describing Christmas this year:

BEFORE:

AFTER:

It's just obscene when you see all the junk that 6 kids acquire on one holiday.  We even tried to be conservative this year...it just looks obscene anyway. 

Anyway, I asked the kids to find their favorite presents.  Squeakers loves his Toy Story Lego Train:

Blurbles was a fan of his new dinosaur (thank you, Aunt Shelley for suffering at Wal-Mart with Mrs. Claus while she acquired this little creature on Black Friday).

 Lil' N was thrilled that Santa heard his pleas for a tetherball:

 This little presnt combines Bug's two true loves: Batman and Robots.  Introducing, BatBot:

 Puppy asked Santa for Buzz, Woody, and Bullseye...even though he already has a dozen of each:

Frew's presents were few...since, what do you get a kid who already has every toy imagineable in that age bracket?  But, Santa discovered that he bought this cool wagon a couple of years back on a great sale...and then, realized that it was never gifted.  Thus, Frew's favorite gift...the wagon.  He's fallen out of it (head first in most incidences) at least 6 times.   

We hope your Christmas was Merry.
