We went out to the Buffaloes and had Christmas with Sam's side (minus his brother in Albuquerque). The Buffaloe cousins were even harder to photograph on the couch than usual this year, if you can believe it. I think this one captures their personalities fairly well (courtesy of Barb and her "find your face selfie trick!) plus it has a surprise photo bomb by Papaw/Santa in the back.
James appropriated Amelie's Wonder Woman sword (briefly)
Present-opening chaos:
Here's that couch pose that I like so much. (I should do a progression/comparison for all the years I have! ... if I can find them.)
We put together a gingerbread house (it happened once and now it's tradition - they kept asking about it!) James doesn't see why he can't just eat it already.
Sam convinced me to just let them have it the first night.
The preschool where Amelie and James go puts on an annual Christmas concert.
There's a cookie exchange at the end, which, let's face it, is really what James cares about.
Notice his dapper Reindeer vest.
Amelie looks like she's up to no good.
We took advantage of the dress clothes and decorations to snag a few photos as well.
We went to see the magic tree at Cherry Hill after services on Christmas Eve (as is tradition). I'm sure Leah's breaking all kinds of rules here, but she loved it. Next, year, I'll try harder to get a family picture.
Here's Leah on Christmas morning! Her first Christmas, with Christmas tutu courtesy of my coworker Whitney. She was a good sport about the bow.
Amelie opening presents. (Also a good sport about the bow.)
More present-opening chaos:
Sam and I went to see The Last Jedi on Christmas night. Movie theater selfie here:
