…You really are a…beautiful girl! Hi Binnie. Whatcha doin’? Waiting in line to see a celebrity? Who is it? It better not be that chump Justin Bieber! His name’s Nick Claus? Sounds OK to me!

Ah, that awkward moment where you’ve already told Santa what you want. Now just smile and try not to say anything naughty!!!

Its ok Rowan, you can come out of your angelic daze anytime now…did I mention that you’re sitting on a bear?

Look, it’s a moose on a moose! Sorry Ellie, you earned that nickname the day you were born weighing 1.5lbs more than any of your siblings. You are the cutest cannonball ever!

Brinley is a professional Reindeer Rodeo rider. She held on for the whole 5 minute ride!

Keep holding on to that left antler Drew! Hey, just like NASCAR! He’s making another left turn…

So, are you kids still being nice even though you’ve already talked to Santa? Looking good!

Sharing is caring Roastie! Thanks for letting Drew have a sip of your refillable Costco drink. Another nice point for you!

Nice points are earned easily when you make faces like this:

This face I’m not so sure about. Are you suffering from VGSA Drew? (Video Game Separation Anxiety…HA!)

All aboard Santa’s sleigh! At least that’s what Eleanor thinks is going on…

Let’s check Santa’s cargo…Pineapple, crackers, milk, broccoli, raisin bran…yup, Santa’s on a short crash diet before dia de los too much cookies and milk all-nighter begins.

Remember that guy we met? He looks just like this:

Dun dun dunnnnn…Uh oh, has somebody run out of nice juice?

Nice Santa head Brinley. Mrs. Claus would be proud.

It appears as though Santa has gone down through one too many chimneys…do they have chiropractor elves at the North Pole?

Here’s Ellie, refilling her nice tank. Good work!

img_0483

Oh blessed day!

We’ve skipped over Santa’s gift. We’ll blog about that soon. Check out Rowan’s face as she realizes that this princess dress has been made just for her!

Drew was feeling as though his heart might burst with excitement, so Dr. Rowan gave him a check-up.

Custom-made Rapunzel dress & hair just for you Binnie…what say ye to Grandma F? THANK YOU!!!

So what was Drew so excited about? Well, anything that involves helmets and danger gets a boys blood pumping!

You are a beautiful bride Brinley! Daddy is now suffering high blood pressure at the very thought!

Tinker-Ellie rubbin’ her candy-filled bellie.

Pssst…Hey you! Got any pixie dust? Oh yeah!

img_0514

“Honest, Officer Drew, that pixie dust isn’t mine!”

Drew got Brinley a nice book as a wedding…er…I mean Christmas gift.

img_0519

I dunno Drew, do you think Brinley likes it? Maybe you should have gone with the tattoo parlor gift certificate…

Grandma J hooked the kids up with a giant box of Wii stuff. Yoga mat, boxing gloves, dance pad, y’know…typical video game equipment?

img_0525

There’s a Wii Fit+ in there somewhere…Meanwhile Rowan is trying to figure out where to plug in HD cables on our old school TV…good luck!

Alright kids, glad you enjoyed your presents. Now pack’em up, you’re singing in church in a ½ hour!
