Christmas with the Christensens

I'm catching up for the last month by adding a plethora of posts tonight. I have had these all building up in my head for weeks now with no time to do anything about them. We had a wonderful Christmas. Peter’s family traveled to us again this year, so we didn’t have to worry about traveling with the masses. We enjoyed Christmas morning with just our little family, and then the Christensens joined us that evening for Present Opening #2. And we’ll be traveling to Thailand in February, where I know more presents are awaiting the kids. I only hope they’re too young to realize they’re being spoiled!

Take a good look at the following picture:

This is the picture you would have received if we had managed to get Christmas cards out this year. The main problem is that the last picture we have of the 4 of us together is from last Christmas! So we needed to wait for Peter’s family to get here to take a family picture of us. Then things were a bit hectic with 9 people in a one-bedroom apartment, so we never quite got around to writing up our letter and sending it off. But don’t lose hope…there may just be a Chinese New Year card in the works! And if you think the above picture was bad, take a look at a few of these (it's impossible to keep these kids still!):


By now we're ALL having too much fun:


Here are a few pics of us with Peter's family:
