We try our best mixing both of our traditions...above, the kids show a simple one that I grew up with: the one day the year that we could wear our PJ's all day long and eat whatever we wanted was Christmas Day. Quinn loves eating breakfast in his PJ's and eating cookies all day.Emily, as we have found out, is quite a cookie addict...and she really loved all the cookies she could eat, but was a bit, let's say really, really, really mad when we reduced her cookie intake the next day.

Sometimes, gifts for kids are more like gifts for Papas. I had to fight to get some quality time with Quinn's crane (special thanks to Leah for passing on this great toy).
The day after Christmas, we were all suffering from a bit of jungle fever...so we headed out sledding.
Quinn had a blast with his butt slide. It never ceases to amaze me how a piece of plastic can bring so much joy (and tire the kids out).
Quinn absolutely wanted to hit the bump down the sledding hill. He wanted to go fast and get more air...I was worried about irreversable damage to my back. Eva got a good pic of us getting some air.

Emily in the big chair. She's seemed to have grown a lot these last weeks ... and she definitely likes to get her way. Countdown to Temper Tantrum City: approx 3 months.Another Christmas Season has come and gone...and it was a great, relaxing few days with family and friends. Having some extra 'quantity' time with the kids is very important for me.
My back, however, is very grateful to be back in the office, where the daily routine is a bit less strenuous.
