    PERFECT.

    Goofy sweater? CHECK
    Unsafe child’s “toy”? CHECK
    Silly hats? CHECK

    You guys know how to do Christmas propah.

  • NukeDad


    Can somebody please get that kid some ketchup for his bubble wrap?

    NukeGirl has the same reindeer antlers. She’s not allowed to wear them anymore after that whole front yard grazing incident. Oh, and the deer pellets in the kitchen didn’t help matters either.

    You mean you don’t force them to wear the antlers every year???

    (clears throat) Not that I would KNOW anything about that, you understand…..

    What a cute idea! And I suddenly have the urge to jump up and down. Must find bubble wrap.

    Umm… does the third picture count as confirmation that the third child never has a picture on their own? :o) First child gets tons, second a few, and after that there are no solo pics until they can use a camera on their own. (I’m a first born, so it’s okay with me!)

    I am impressed! FYI for those who were talking about bubble wrap being unsafe. It comes out in the end. AT then end, I should say. Or so I have heard.

    LOL… bubble wrap is high in protein. Is the top one Doner? Where is your childhood x-mas picture?

  • Ashley


    Hehe those are so adorable. For L’s first Christmas, she preferred mostly the boxes and chewing the paper. Next time, we know. This year, she still likes boxes but likes toys a little more (sometimes).

    I loved seeing the pictures of your children at the holidays. And I love what you have shared with us about your Christmas. My oldest is in college, my younger is 16. Things at my house aren’t quite so cute, but I remember when they were. Thanks for sharing, and for the reminder that almost 20 years ago we had a first Christmas too.

    Thats so cute! First Christmases are so awesome! This is actually Pufferfish’s SECOND Christmas, but I think its going to be more exciting than her first, because last year she was too little to really realize anything special was going on, except to be annoyed that we kept sticking bows on her head!
    I love that last picture of them all together… SO CUTE!!!!!!!!
