Christmas Fun!

We're back from El Dorado! We had such a good time with my family, opening gifts and playing games (Dad's the Trivial Pursuit champ). We went there Saturday morning and got back on Wednesday. I haven't been able to spend that much time there since I was in college so it really was special!

Like I mentioned in the last post, the car was PACKED! Sara was very kind and shared her seat with both dogs for a little bit of the way. In this picture, I think Sophie is trying to make me feel sorry for her...

My mom is an excellent decorator and when I was growing up our house was always completely decked out for Christmas, Halloween, Easter, you name it! The dining room has always been my favorite. This is right before we sat down to eat...

And Dad carving (eating) the turkey...

On a side note, Kirk has been a mountain man since Thanksgiving. He has not shaved at all and it was beginning to drive me crazy. The deal was that he had to shave on Christmas day. But. before he shaved he wanted to take a picture of himself with everyone and by everyone I mean dogs too! They turned out to be really cute but there's too many to post. Here's him with my parents' dog, Sebastian right before the big shave...

And during the big shave...

And after the big shave...

Isn't he handsome???

And about the matching pajamas, my mom, sister, and I always get them to wear on Christmas Eve (this year they were adorable zebra). Now that there's another boy in the family, we decided that they should do the same. Kirk and dad have been incredibly cooperative!

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!! I can't wait for next year!!
