paris' christmas!

we spent the other half of our time home with the paris'! everyone under one roof is kinda crazy, but kinda crazy fun! neil & jody & their brood get the basement. we get the guest bedroom & melissa usually stays over on the couch not wanting to miss a minute of my attention... er, a minute with the kids, i mean!

denise wanted a picture of all three in these santa hats. it was hilarious attempting this task. this is by far the closest we got to them all a)sitting b) with the hats on c) sortof smiling/at least looking at the camera. & finn wasn't the worst at getting up & walking away as you might imagine. mr. late-to-the-walking-game-gabester was! grandpa, melissa & bryan were hilarious trying to convince them to sit while i just kept firing away.


aunt lissa & evie.
our belated christmas morning affair! tons of paper & tons of presents!
one happy little girl.
grandma dee & papa ron got finn this recycling truck & it's his favorite. she made a comment that the only bad review was that it's loud. grandma dee dee, i have thought on several occasions about calling you while he is pushing that puppy around our house- shuey, loud does not describe it! but he does love it & it's a recycling truck so... i love it too.



i had told everyone that i was getting finn a kitchen set for christmas, so any presents that would work well with that theme would be perfect. so creative aunt lissa & uncle jeff made some felt food for finn, & they are so stinken cute. he loves it & pretends to eat it like cookie monster. nom nom nom!
this boy is still obsessed with trains. i bought him a letter set that spelled out paris & gabe got his name!
bryan did it. i don't know what he did, but all fingers are pointing at him!
i think this one is cute.
he is attempting to fit in a tiny little box...
finn was banned from the kitchen. i'm not sure how they caught on to the fact that he was sneaking cookies out of there for me...

they made out like bandits with the meyers!


frozen blueberry face.



so sweet.
they dropped finn & i off at the airport... i can't for the life of me remember why bryan wasn't with us... hmm.

ah. there's our christmas! it was a long two weeks since i wasn't feeling so hot- but lovely to be with our family as always.
