Because we will be spending the holidays with Andy's family in Idaho, we had a pre-Christmas dinner and present-opening-session with my family tonight. Everyone was there, and it was a great time. I think my brother needs to hurry up and get married and have kids, because he sure is good with Lauren and Kate, and they love playing with him (and it's nice to have someone else that will chase Lauren around and spin her on the floor). Of course Lauren was the most excited to open presents...I went to take dessert out of the oven, and came back to see Lauren holding a new sweater that she had opened for me from my brother! Kate did really well, considering that it was 2 hours past her bedtime. For the most part, she spent her time un-decorating the Christmas tree, much to her Grandpa's displeasure...she even cut her finger in the process. The kids came home with new books, a movie, puppets, and memberships to the Zoo and Kidspace...thank you Santa/Grandma. It was a really nice night...too bad we couldn't stay and finish watching "Big," but the kids were starting to melt and so were we!

We watched BIG last night too! Love that movie. And I'm jealous of your Kidspace membership. Maybe we'll have to tag along with you sometime :).
I love the shot of Lauren's hair swirling around. Her hair is so gorgeous! And Lauren hitting the bottle? Starting her a little young, eh?
Have fun in Idaho!
What great pictures! I'm glad you had a nice time. The house/tree looks beautiful (as always at your folks house) and your kids are so dang cute.
