Merry Christmas, Joshua!

Joshua's gift for Mom and Dad was his sleeping in until 8:30AM!!  That's a world record!  Turned out all that sleep came in handy when it came to playing with all those toys!  Joshua made quite a killing this year.  Here are quite a few photos from Joshua's Christmas...

New cars!!  How did they know!


Definitely getting the hang of opening gifts!




Wow!  A truck that can hold other trucks!


Opening gifts with Grandma...


New trike!


Taking it out for a spin!


Safety first!


He finally wears a helmet and it won't stay on his head!




Resting with Dad on my new dog pillow!


Even picking up is fun on Christmas!


Took a little while to get the concept of the stocking.  You can see when the realization sets in that there are gifts in there... and then when he figures out how to get them out!

Christmas Portraits...

Here are a few spontaneous and authentic pictures of people opening their presents on Christmas Day!

Twas the Night Before Christmas...

Everyone dressed up in their Christmas best and headed out to mass on Christmas Eve.  We took a few pictures to prove it happened.  We almost managed to catch Santa, but we just missed him!  We did take a few pictures of the what he left behind, though...
 

I know Mom has been good, but has she been that good?


Looks like she has!


Getting dressed for Christmas Eve mass!


Pretty dress!

Merry Christmas!

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...


Cool tricycle!


Hard to believe with all this waiting Joshua managed to set a record and sleep until 8:30AM!

Christmas Cruise!

Heather and I bought everyone a ticket for a Christmas Cruise this year.  We set sail on Lake Washington and stopped by two beaches where a choir sang Christmas carols to those on the shore.  Several boats joined the procession with their own lights!

Try as you may Santa, but you are NOT getting me to smile in a picture with you!


The family...


Boats with lights following along...

The entire Naumann family flew out to Seattle to celebrate Christmas this year.  Here are a few pictures of Alyssa spending time with her uncles and grandparents.
