Christmas time is heeeeere!

"Happiness and Cheeeeer!"
oh please, will somebody save me? I made the mistake of googling the lyrics to Charlie Brown's "Christmas Time is Here" and have been singing it out loud and in my head, over and over and over again. Snoopy would be proud.

Well, We have been busy! Check out the pictures!

Viva takes a pre-game nap before the Christmas festivities in NJ.

Oh, here she is on Christmas Eve. Falling over drunk. She must be our daughter, indeedy.

"Here, I am keeping my composure..."
"Just kidding!"

Glen sending his daughter some sleepy vibes.

"I'm Poppy the Sailor maaaan!" arg, look at me muscles!

"Like my bib?"

Oh, right. Back to Christmas... This is Viva back from Christmas in NJ. She looks so happy! We had a great time. We went to Tom and Erica's place, my brother and sister-in-law, and spent the day with Viva's three cousins- Aly (5) Nori (3) and May (Today's May's first birthday actually! Happy Birthday Cutie pie). Tom and Erica are in Hawaii (first non-kid vacation in years! Congrats!) so the grandparents were taking care of the 3 girls. See?

Aly and Nori were mesmerized by Glen's reading of "Horton Hears a Who".

I'd like to point out that Aly is wearing a headlamp. The girls loved that thing, and the adults suffered burned corneas but hey, that's cool.

May's cheeks are amazing. I mean, May's amazing... but those cheeks. wow. Delicious.

Viva and her Stripey Buddy kind of look alike.

Viva looks like she is studying May. Very Carefully.

Or maybe she just wants May's presents.

"Hi, I'm Nori and I am way cute and spunky!"
"Listen, stop staring at my cheeks, I can feel you looking at me..."

"Ooooh what's that?"
Aly wonders what's in store...

Nori gave Viva a present!

Aly poses by her drawing!


Nori is clearly very excited!

Little Viva Minnie poses with her grandma and Aly and Nori. Viva's first Christmas was a hit!

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year...


hehehheee...
love,
us.
