Christmas Cheer

Sorry these got delayed.  I was trying to tie up some loose ends before the New Year and the blog got back-burnered.  In my defense, I did end up with an average of (barely over) a post per week last year.  It’s not quite as good as Mom and her letter-writing but you get a lot more pictures!  And now, on with the show . . . Logan kept running out of the shot while the self-timer was still counting down because he wanted to look at the picture, which then of course didn’t have him in it.  He was on his way out in this one but it’s the best we could do of all of us.

At least Naomi and I had a photogenic moment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And when Logan stays put for the camera, he can be pretty cute too.

Having an actual person behind the camera can be helpful as well.

Christmas morning jammies.

   Every kid needs something to help him mend his boo-boos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

New train set pieces were a big hit.  No surprise there!

  Another winner was a relatively simple Matchbox ice cream truck.

  
Being the excellent big brother that he is, Logan also helped open Naomi’s presents.  I love how excited Naomi looks—“Oh, what is it?  Could it be!  Oh, I’ve wanted one of those my WHOLE life!!!”

Oooooh!   Aaaaaaahh!

It took a little effort to get into the packaging.  Thankfully Logan had received a nifty new tool set.  

Naomi did try to open a few of her presents in her own way.

All in all, I’d say she had a pretty good day.  In fact, we all did.  It was a relaxed, peaceful and very joyous Christmas.  I was so very, very glad to be able to talk on Christmas day with almost everyone who bothers to read this.  Glad your Christmas celebrations were merry and happy New Year to all of you!
