Missing Families as a Family

This is for all of the family we weren't with this Christmas, and because I don't want to forget.... Christmas Eve pajamas from Grandma Taylor Cereal treat, a Taylor must-have for Christmas New slippers and socks (instead of pjs) The best we could do at a family snapshot Reading the Christmas story Mierae's hand-written note to Santa Santa comes First gift Christmas morning, opened together (with all the other gifts neatly placed in individual piles by Mierae) Jolie's gift from Mierae: a dog named "Cheri" (which Jolie pronounces "sheg wree" in her best French accent) Mierae's gift from Jolie: a magnetic doll named Elise, the same as Mierae's middle name (which mom actually picked out because Mierae sneakily opened the art plate Jolie chose for her before Christmas and it got taken back to the store) Mierae and her favorite heroine (but I think she screamed a little louder when she opened her new Dora underwear) Jolie eating all of the contents of her stocking with sugar as the first ingredient before lunch Eric actually got me a Snuggie. I love it. And our New Year's outing to Wildlights at the zoo, the only three hours Jolie's nose hasn't been running in the last two months, and a peaceful reprieve from the girls fighting over Mierae's new princess scooter Good-bye 2009! Maybe our kids will start sleeping through the night NEXT year....

I LOVE Mierae's note to Santa, how cute!! And I love the expressions on their faces while they were opening gifts. That's not easy to capture, so great job!

I really love that you wanted a snuggie for Christmas. It's so funny. Mierae's handwritten note to Santa is so cute! I can't believe she old enough to be writing things already!

You guys are hilarious...a Snuggie!
Love your hair Robyn! You may think it's unnoticeable, but even in classic snapshot we see those gorgeous locks!
Love you, miss you.

Okay, okay, I just LOVE all of your family shots and I'm beginning to be jealous and wanting to start doing it myself but it seems like a lot more work with a third child. I'm going to try it and post it so you can see. This will be interesting.
You are amazing and I always leave your blog happy and content.
I love your girls in their new p.j's. They look absolutely adorable!!
