Christmas in WV

Almost all of the Bloods (missing Mary & Elizabeth & families, plus Joanna on her mission) were able to come home for Christmas this year. I think the final headcount was 28 people, although thankfully not all in one house anymore! 

Much to Seth's delight, most of Christmas vacation looked like this:

There was always an uncle or two around and willing to play Warcraft!

And when screen time was up, he had Uncle Jacob to play war with in the playroom.

It was a good Christmas to be Seth.

Elise and Tauriel used to be enemies. They have since decided they actually like each other and have instead begun working together to get into trouble. This was the first time they got into my makeup: 

Very remorseful, as you can see. 

In the older girl department, it was a similar vibe: 

Megan, Catherine & Brianna

These three spent a LOT of time being silly together. 

Watching football by the fire with Grandpa is the best way to put Elise to sleep.

The whole crew on Christmas Sunday.

And yes, Seth pulled that face in EVERY PICTURE.

He gets to write apology notes to everyone.
