This is before the beginning of chaos
Santa gave Jack a Nintendo DS and nintendogs, Ryan a hamster, Hadley a dollhouse, Morgan a kitchen, Griffin a big wheel and Mia got some baby activity toys.
But the big surprise for Jack, Ryan and Hadley-- a Mexican Riviera cruise in January with the Seal family
sibling rivalry--Blue vs. Red
Ryan's cute new hamster "Carmel"
Gavin made us a yummy gourmet french bread breakfast with homemade syrup. He got better directions this year and it turned out much better than last year's attempt.
This year's cinnamon french toast
Last year's loaf of bread with baked eggs around it! Apparently the trick was slicing the bread and letting it sit in the egg mixture over night before cooking it. Who knew!?
Happy 1st Christmas Mia Kate!
We went up to my parent's home for brunch and more gift exchanging.

Hey, Emma's middle name is Kate too! Way too cute. It sounds like anytime you have more than 4 kids... it's just crazy. We really weren't that chaotic until this year. I always enjoy the 26th. I get to take Christmas down, and put it away until next Thanksgiving.
It truly was a great Christmas along with the chaos! You are most deserving of a nice relaxing cruise!
Looks like you all had a wonderful Christmas. I just love the doll house and the kitchen too! A cruise sounds so nice! Happy New Year!
What a wonderful Christmas - and I just knew it - more trips :) I thought as I was heading over to your blog - I wonder where Heather's been in the last month or so ;) You are the traveling queen - and I'm only a little jealous :) I love to see all your pictures! Looks like your kids had a GREAT Christmas and wishing you the best for 2009!!!
