Christmas - better late than never

Picking up where I left off (I'm proud that I was able to give one update while we were away), we enjoyed a funfilled and packed Christmas holiday. Ethan still didn't quite get the opening gifts thing but by the end of it all he did at least open a few packages. Eleanor, well, she just laid there being cute!

Enjoying a Redskins win with Grandma & Granpa!

A little get together with our buddies - Molly, MC and Bill. Tripper and Roy weren't too keen on having their picture taken.

All dressed up for church

Waiting backstage for her big moment!

Another Landers debuts as Baby Jesus. No, this is not a tradition to be continued in 2013!! 2011 and 2012 was enough!

Hey Brian...can you pick Ethan up and hand him to me so I can have a family photo?

Brian realizing that's not quite what I meant!! Thanks for filling in for Jon, though!

She was all dress. But goodness...look at those arms!! She's another monkey armed Landers. There's already a MAJR (monkey arms junior) in the house, what shall we call her?

Pressing the ornament that makes noise...thanks Nanette and PawPaw!

I have NEVER seen a kid get so excited for a plate!! I'm glad my buddy acts like every gift is the best thing in the entire world!

Just relaxing after a hard day! Didn't even have energy to take off the 2nd shoe!

At least someone put it back on for me!

I think Ahhh-eeee has a buddy! Ally was the only one who got called her name by Ethan!

Christmas morning!

Uncle Brian - it's time to get up!

One excited little boy!

I think I'll help this guy out with this big box!
Ta-da!

Boxes...the gifts that keep on giving!

Just love that smile!

Hey mom...do you think you could pack me up and ship me off to see daddy?? I have a packing slip & all. Just tape 'er up!

YAY!!!!

Oh Uncle Dennis...you are so funny!!

Big belly laughs are my favorite!

Baby girl loving on Uncle Dennis

Cousins (and Uncle Whitey in the back)!

Just hanging out underneath the chair so I don't get stepped on!

More laughing with Uncle Dennis

Can you believe this is the best picture out of 20??

So cool to have all the cousins there!!

Again, the best picture out of 20!

A lacrosse stick is a MUST when playing in the snow!
