The girls, little guy, and I had a wonderful Christmas Eve and Day. On Christmas Eve, I had to work while the girls and Carter stayed home and made cookies. Once I got home, we headed over to the local Japanese Steak House for dinner and then went into town to see the Christmas trees at the National Capitol and the White House. From there, we headed home, opened two presents each, and were off to bed.

Christmas morning, Carter was first up (shocking) but the girls did not get up until 8am. The day was great. Everyone got plenty of new things and we ate way too much. Enjoy the pics and videos.


Everything seemed alright with the cookies (left), but then K must have started getting on Mo's nerbes (right).

Thanks Uncle Derek.


C didn't last too long.


But that did not stop everyone else.


K with some of her presents. Her brother got her the Transformer.


And Mo who was very happy with her Aeropostale haul.


Mo looking dazzling in her present bow.

And then her happy reaction to my over-taping of the actual present.

Kerrie getting a new digital frame and K announcing how it was bought.





The Story of Us...so far. The kiddos and I got this for Kerrie for her office.

As a finale, Mo found a cool little prize in her stocking.



K hard at work playing her new DS and showing off her new guitar.


And Carter had had enough.
