christmas day is finally here

part two:

we enjoyed christmas evening at krissy & matt's house

our company included:

matt, krissy, willy

terri, doug, conor

megg, tom, emelyn, oisin

marilyn, kathryn and dave

oisin was clearly enjoying his first christmas

and was especially fascinated by willy's new story-telling elmo doll

emelyn got a leapster from santa

all pretty, pink and princessy

she was coloring in pictures on it

and assigning some to dan for him to do too
dan playing a princess pink video game- that's going down in history

we also took turns on megg's nintendo, playing old-school mario brothers

willy was having a ball with his new playset, set up in what will be his new big-boy room

it has a slide and a basketball hoop, a soccer net

hours and hours of climbing fun

can you tell he loves this thing?

so happy he almost looks possessed! kinda scary

but uber fun
is he a big kid or what?!

we ate krissy's talamazedi for dinner. so delicious
even in the vegetarian version she made for megg and me.
with scrumptious chocolate strawberry cake for dessert
we chatted, opened presents
{krissy gave me what could be coolest present ever-
a rake system with attachments, gardening gloves and knee pads,
an instructional book on how to grow veggies, and a vegetarian cookbook. bring on spring!!}

and the kids played with their toys
willy especially loved the Hess truck from Larry and Leslie
oisin played with willy's elmo and drum with light up balls inside
and emelyn mostly played with uncle danny- she loves him soo much its adorable

we headed home around 9:30

car full again

so many thoughtful gifts coming home with us

bellies full

hearts full

merry christmas everyone!
