LIZARD.

Eeek. I know. Gross. It was my luck that I was awake after Mike and Will returned from an early morning walk to Starbucks. It was so cold this lizard didn't even try to fight them when they picked it up. It had no opinion when they concocted an elaborate scheme wherein they would put the lizard on my pillow, next to my sleeping head, and take pictures. It said nothing when they then decided that after that escapade they would put the poor lizard in the fridge in a pie tin with a bit of saran wrap over it so that when I opened the fridge later I would scream. Fortunately for the lizard and for me I was awake.

A Small Selection of Christmas Cheer

My goodness. There are no words for how long it takes a two year old to open 70 or so presents. I know you think "surely she's exaggerating, there couldn't have been 70." I don't think I am. At the very least, it felt like that many presents. Course, William loved it, was completely over-stimulated and enjoyed himself immensely.

It took two hours.

We didn't even finish opening all the gifts.

We even decided to save the one we got him for his birthday. Hah!

Anyway, a big "Thank You" to all Aunts, Uncles, Grandmas and Grandpas and friends out there who donated to the crazy day we call Christmas.

Christmas Eve Eve

For Christmas Grandma and Grandpa Murphy came to celebrate with us - this is Grandpa meeting Sissy, and holding Sissy for the first time. (Course Dad has a stop watch to time his holding duties??)
