Merry Christmas

A few Christmas photos:

Charlie pulled this from his stocking and after a moments scrutiny declared "This is for girls. Boys don't wear lip gloss." Even though it was green, and Charlie is all about green, he promptly handed it off to a sister. Further down in his stocking he came across a similar item, and after another moments scrutiny placed it on his pile of stuff saying "Boys can wear chapstick." I think the first one may have looked a little too sparkly for his manhood.

Uncle Gary trying on his new work gloves.

Gretchen opening a gift and Lora Lynn putting on her Christmas bow.

The girls got these adorable dresses from their mom's friend who bought them in Africa.

Surly Teenager approves.

My Hubby. The dork.

Lazy Non-Teenager was mostly ill all weekend and didn't appreciate attempts at taking her picture.

Dowlan and Hubby snoozing after a tough morning of turkey frying.

This is Diego. He had his own stocking, along with one for Clementine and Abby. However, Diego was the only one smart enough to figure out which stocking had his name on it, get the treats out and try to dig in all by himself.

Turkey frying disaster averted by running all over town and scrounging up enough oil to fry them birds in.

The entertainment of the evening: watching popcorn pop in Gretchen's new Stir Crazy.
