Christmas craziness

We have had a very exciting Christmas with my family this week, starting with an ambitious trip to a Christmas Eve church service with Josh, Molly and the twins. This is the best picture I got before I left. Josh and Molly made it through most of the service with only one minor fight over a plastic cup. Luckily that was during some congregational singing, so most of the people did not hear Molly's high-pitched screaming.

We spent the rest of Christmas Eve wrapping presents and putting together toys in triplet for the girls. Here are some elves assembling small plastic shopping carts.

Josh told my mom all week that she had too many presents under her tree, a problem that he easily could fix by opening a few. We made him hold off until Christmas morning, and he was pretty excited when the day finally arrived.


The most popular gifts among the toddler girl set were baby dolls and child-size strollers.

My parents' enormous bathroom has been the site of several interesting incidents this week, including the girls playing in the shower with the strollers and Molly and Elizabeth filling the toilet with TP and trying to flush it. Last night's bathroom highlight included Josh streaking in front of dinner guests to quietly tell my mom about Molly pooping (I'll leave out the gory details) and Josh helping Molly slide headfirst into the giant tub. It's been quite an adventure.

Don't worry. There's no photo documentation from last night.
