Merry Christmas!

WARNING: MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF PICTURES TO FOLLOW, PROBABLY INTERESTING ONLY TO FAMILY. (Don't say I didn't warn you!)

My family, like many, has a Christmas Eve pajama tradition. This year was no exception. My mom found some fun matching jammies online for all of us (including the boys and the baby). We also all got Santa hats to match (Julie's Santa hat said "Kiss Me Grandma" on the white brim). We had fun. And while I have gotten over the practice of taking pictures of Julie every waking moment, my family has not yet. So I have about a million and one pictures to choose from for this post.

Julie has also started sitting up on her own during this trip (finally!), so we've got some stinkin' cute pictures of her going solo in front of the tree. For all the off-schedule-ness and time in the car, and being sick (just a cold, she got it from me), she has been super super happy, even for her. It's been great.

For the pictures of the whole family (all seven of us), we used the timer on my sister's camera. Most of the grown-ups (if we can all be called that) are smiling fine in the pictures, however, we are also all trying to get Julie to smile. Consequently, she ended up looking at one of us (a different one each time) in almost every shot. Enjoy!

And, the silly shot (I love that Mom and Dad are perfectly normal in this picture):
For the rest of the photos, there were three cameras going at once, so it seems like in not one shot are we all three looking the same direction. Oh yeah, three cameras and an entertainer for Jules.
So so happy here!!
Awwwww, so sweet!And what would Christmas be without a couple shots of the siblings?
And silly ones at that!
A shot of Julie with the dudes:
And finally, just Julie:
Mmmmmm...wrapping paper!And her super cute slippers:
