Merry Christmas

Good news! The Tucks gave us a new digital camera for Christmas. Here are some scenes from the Tuck family Christmas in Rockford. More to follow...


Christmas eve cocktails


First present of the morning


Sam loves his new cars and garage.

It snowed this morning!!

It snowed in Montgomery this morning.... in our dining room! Mister got up before Andy or me and found a box of kosher salt in the pantry. He proceeded to "let it snow" all over the table, chairs, rug, and floor. Sam has really got the holiday spirit this year!

All I want for Christmas is a...

BELT!!

Last week I went to pick Sam up at school and found him walking around his classroom like this:




His new pants were too big and kept falling down. His teachers told me they fell down all morning and they thought it was so funny. When he noticed them giggling at him, he started pulling his pants down just to make them laugh. What a ham! I wonder where he got that.....

Santa comes to Fairhope early....

The Hugheses have a tradition of Santa arriving on Christmas Eve bringing presents for the littlest members of the family. He came early this year in order to catch most all the kids in one spot. They were so happy to see him.

Bummer!

Aaaaaahhhhh! In all the excitement of Santa's visit to Nonnie and Papa's house last night, I dropped our camera and broke it! It will turn on and the lcd screen comes on briefly but the lens is stuck halfway open (or is it halfway closed...hmmm). I will have to get it repaired when we get home. Andy says this particularly bad for my blog because it is like Playboy- "People say they read it for the articles but really just want the pictures." Touche.
So the lowdown: Santa was very jolly and brought cool gifts. All the kids were very excited except Claire, who cried, and Sam, who ran and hid. Good times.
I'll see if I can get some pictures from someone else's camera to post.

Playing with Greyson and Quinn

Greyson and Sam take turns sliding "Neigh" the horse and other animal friends down the block slide.


Michele hiding behind Quinn. Doesn't Quinn have beautiful eyes?
