our family christmas.

The kids were up and ready for presents at 7 a.m.

“I see my name!”

A lot of firsts for Ams this Christmas: first Barbie, first My Little Pony …

And first doll house!

My treats from David’s camping trip in the mountains

We were both cooking breakfast when we sensed a hush had fallen over the house.  This is what we found in the living room.  Two little people scarfing down our fancy organic chocolate bars.

I ordered the doll house from Amazon, and Steve and Linda brought it with them when they came.  Amie loves it so much she threw a temper tantrum when she couldn’t take it to bed with her tonight.  Everyone lives here.  These dolls.  The My Little Ponies.  The Barbie doll.  A few wild animals.  They’re a modern family.

I got money for this floor lamp from my favorite home store.  And a few throw pillows too.  Hooray for a homey living room!

My artist.  He’s been talking about taking up painting for over a year now.  I had a blast surprising him with all of these supplies.

Yep.  Some of us stayed in pj’s all day.  I would too if my pj’s were this cute!

“Hi I’m Alex.  The Alex.”

Real men peel potatoes

And wrestle of course

Merry Christmas from South Asia!
