Christmastime Happiness...

Chapin in the "good luck" tree.

One big happy family!

With Ellie Meyer...Chapin's longtime sitter and good friend.

Let the presents begin...

Lego's...His favorite!

Lego rescue boat from Abua & Granddad.

Carcassonne game from Krister, Sandy and Kira.  Chapin's new favorite game and he is not to bad at it.  He beat both Jon and I last evening.

James still is our Christmas kitty after all these years.  He loves Christmas morning with the boxes and bows.  His special treat showed up and he opened it all by his self.  Good kitty!

Catnip toy = Heaven!

At this point we have already been up for a very longtime...I do believe we look a bit tired!

Rescue boat building all by himself.

I HEART these boys!!!!

Christmastime is always fun and a bit hectic.  This year we were convienced not to enter into the craziness of it all...And I do believe we accomplished this.  Not to sound like a broken record, but we have so much to be thankful for that getting wrapped up in chaos just didnt feel right!

So we enjoyed having a peaceful morning to ourselves and a lovely group of friends by for the traditional Christmas brunch.  Chapin handled it all very well himself and had a blast building his lego's, airplane, etc.   We hope that this finds you all well and that you found peace in your celebrations.

Love to all - Turi, Jon & Chapin
