Annual Christmas Eve reading of The Polar Express

Annual Christmas Eve reading of The Polar Express

A little more interested in the bell than the book

The Polar Express always draws a crowd

Little bell stealer

All hopped up on Christmas

Coco kiss!

Christmas morning!


Hmmm, should I finish opening it or not?

Yay, tools!

Uncle John finally gets a Tyler original! (Yes, Uncle Dan got one, too.)

Coco's very excited about her new pan


Two new Wii remotes!

Papa looked like he needed some help

Uncle D's an assassin

What's so funny, Coco?

Uncle D inpecting Tyler's work

Hmmm, maybe this one's not for Tyler

It's a smoker for Uncle John! (Coco tricked him by letting Tyler open it.)

Christmas aftermath

Papa and his new ladder

A new stack of Joe's cups to replace all the ones that have wandered away

All right, new camos!


Nice socks, Uncle D and Uncle J!

Annual pictures by the tree

And the annual matching Christmas pajamas

Tyler really wasn't into the photo shoot

Trying out a new Wii game

I finally put down the camera and opened my presents

What a surprise -- Old Navy!

No more presents?

Vibrating Elmo tomato -- yes, the toymakers think of everything!

Taking the new ladder for a spin


Dramamine for the next deep sea fishing trip

Coco feeling for new teeth

She even came away with all her fingers!

Hey, those are my handprints!

Let me help you with your hat, Uncle D

Trying out Papa's ladder

Come on, Papa, let's climb!

Wii!
