On Sunday, we rang in Christmas with the Bazails who jetted in from Miami to celebrate with us. It has been a year since we've seen Alex and Lincoln, and boy, have they grown! It's scary! Once again, I did a pitiful job of taking pictures! We had a great time, though, with Roland and Sarah, Jim and Tricia and the Kings. The kids exchanged gifts and everyone ended up happy. Tricia and Jim brought Kentucky Fried Chicken. How can you go wrong with KFC? It was delicious! Emily made chocolate cream pies and we sang Happy Birthday to Trajan and Joshua. Happy birthday, brothers!
I don't know how many kids were here for the DeBry party - I can't count that high - but the eight little kids who were here last night made just as much noise as dozens of kids. I think that means there is some decibel level where kids' screaming just all sounds the same. Nana calls it "screaming for joy," and that's just what it is. The kids took about 30 seconds to remember each other and get right down to the business of racing around, following the rules of an exciting game adults will never understand! Kids will probably never understand why adults like to sit around and talk, either, but it was fun.
Lincoln
Tolly had lots of help opening his present
Tolly LOVED his toy!!
Freestone got a set of Goosebumps books. I noticed he got halfway through the first one before he went to bed last night.
Sephora gift certificates from Alex. Sarah can't believe the girls are old enough for make up!
Ari loved her hat and matching shirt and the finger paints from Tricia. Tricia is a good sport to be included in the kids' gift exchange to balance out the difference between Dopp and non-Dopp kids.
Tricia and Sarah
Tricia and Freestone. I guess Jim was warming up the car and missed the pictures. Sorry, Jim!
Coco and Bill
Scott and Roland
