Our Christmas candids started out with these blurry shots taken by grandma. You would think with how hard she pushes the button and then dramatically releases that she'd get some good shots. Nope. There I was Christmas Eve, laying lazily on the couch, awaiting nothing--when the Robbins' showed up and all the girls dog-piled me. Sophie has the cutest horns.
Christmas morning pre-gift opening grandma had Kt read the story of the birth of Jesus while the other kids + Bruce the Christmas hamster, held up pictures. That Bruce. The highlight of Christmas for all the kids. None of the adults.
Also, how 'bout those fancy pajamas??? You wanna try them on don't you? Don't worry, we did. I tried on Kt's and Addie tried on Izzy's. Perfect fits. Addie asked that her picture not be shown. Too cute to be shown outside of family.
Here's a little of how the rest of the morning went:
It's true. I got a "bumpit" from Brook. Apparently she thinks my hair lacks volume (crying). Addie's gift tags were brilliant. She printed out pictures of everyone (in their youth) and attached them to the gifts. That way those who can't read (Sophie) would know who they belong to. She picked my best (worst) school picture. The year daddums did my hair whilst mom was working at the sewing factory (true story). Nothing like a ponytail with a newspaper rubber band. I had also worn the same dress in my kindergarten photo. How embarrassing. Later, after a delicious HAM lunch, I took close-up shots of everyone's butts. Those are too cute to see outside family also. Then we had PIE. Here's the winner of the best "pie face".
If that doesn't scream delicious--I don't know what does.
Here are some "fer cute"'s:
Whoa. Who's the wise guy (gal) who added grandma's bum?
The next morning we had a visit from our favorite Nicole and Will Fawcett.
By now you're probably wondering when we get to the Macgyver part of this post.
Well folks, here it is:
Macgyver. Holding Will. Pondering the meaning of life.
Later, Macgyver ponders life across the room in the recliner with a swim noodle.
...while grandpa inspects his remote control helicopter.
Back to Will.
Macgyver and Will--the early years:
Ahhhhhh--CUTE!
Later the Conder clan (minus our Kc--sad) had a delicious lunch at Pancho & Lefty's in San Jorge (St. George for those of you who speak English), followed by a Costco excursion.
Sophie got a little hungry in the cart.
That's a wrap for Christmas 2011.
Hope yours was AWESOME.
Awesome, like being a man who rides a buffalo, and then one day finds a baby in the weeds.
That kind of awesome.
Here's a Merry Christmas from just Jayna and I.
Here's a Merry Christmas from Jayna, Seaweed, and I.
I know. End already.
The End.
One more thing--have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
