Christmas, parts1 and 2

We are two thirds of the way through a 3-part Christmas.  We spent a couple days in Milwaukee last weekend, returning home just in time for a full Christmas Eve and Christmas Day experience.  sara's parents arrive tomorrow.

Actually things got rolling on Christmas Eve  with a failed attempt to sleep by the Christmas tree.  It wasn't all that shocking this didn't work out, but the girls had some laughs for a half hour or so.  We spent most of Christmas Day hanging out and playing with our new toys, although we did have some visitors for an early dinner.  Pictures are worth more than words, so I will dispense with the narrative.
