Three arguments, Angus' brother and I had a run-in, 5 hangovers, 10 people with the flu (myself, Angus and the babies included), 16 people in the house for 24 hours, 1 moody 16 year old, a whole lotta' food and Jeff nearly (accidentally) setting the house on fire and we have survived Christmas 2008.
It has honestly been a lovely and fun holiday in a number of ways, but I am seriously cream crackered.
-H.
PS-I call Nick's outfit "A Catfood Outfit", as in someday I'll be in a nursing home eating a whole lotta' catnip because of that choice.

Merry Merry!
Nick looks so much like Angus!
I hope you have a great post-Christmas time, now that the stress is gone and you can enjoy your stuff.

Damn. Hope your New Years isn't as eventful. Gotta at least tell us how the place nearly burned down. Anyway, hope everybody feels better.

Yeah, I think you are right. Lots and lots of catnip. For how long are you going to put them in embarrassing outfits? If you are still doing it to them at 16, I'd actually say that you might not make it to the nursing home...

Been thinking about you. I hope the next week is peaceful and you all feel better. Very glad the house is still standing.

Nick definitely has that "I don't know about this..." look, and Nora isn't looking entirely impressed with him either. Her outfit is really adorable though.
Sounds like a rough holiday. Hopefully you can catch a break before the new year.

I'm still trying to figure out where all those sixteen people slept! How on earth did you do it?
And I love, love, love the outfits! I say, continue to dress them like this until they're big enough to take you down.
Best wishes to all of you. May 2009 be the year you've been waiting for!

There is certainly a threatening expression on his face- beware. Perhaps he's planning his revenge right now

Just remind him gently that you have the power, as his mother, to enlarge that picture and show it off at every major milestone in his life. That ought to at least get you upgraded to Jell-O and saltines.
By the way, both of them are so utterly adorable that I can't stand it. My ovaries wept upon seeing it.

Great Christmas pics there. I'm sorry to hear of your chaos, I hope it was all worth it! There is nothing worse than being sick at Christmas. Almost sounds like a "Griswald" Christmas!!!

OMG that is too funny! What a great pic. The look on Nicks face and the way his sister is looking at him.......... Too Funny. I think he is already planning your golden years and just what nursing home to put you in.

Crazy Holidays are always the best :-) I'm glad you had a wonderful Christmas.
I'll be thinking of you on Weds. when USA runs a 24 hour Elf marathon.

I love the outfits - even J-man thinks they're adorable.
Sounds like you had a rough holiday. Ours (Chanukah, not Christmas) wasn't so easy either, but we are making it through.

Just saw your previous post where you mentioned that the plague you were suffering was norovirus - so sorry to hear that. That's what we were all passing back and forth all week. The triplets kept reinfecting each other and then S and I got it. J-man seemed immune, THANK HEAVENS. He is no fun when he's puking, let me tell you. Hope you're all feeling better.
