Christmas Day 2010

I am writing this post in the middle of February nearly 2 months after Christmas. I mean this post is so past due that I even backdated it...it's that bad....I never feel the need to backdate anymore. I've been on a blogging strike for a while now mostly due to the crazy construction we have going on in Lee-ville but I must say it's been a refreshing view of my kids on the other side of the camera. I've been so backlogged on posts that I've shied away from getting the camera out much as not make more work for myself...it's been slightly eye opening but I've been eager [stressed] to get back to work.

The Christmas Spirit and the Christmas Cheer has long since exited the building but here's the Lee family Christmas in a flash just so it's on record...

Doll house for Stell as previously discussed...and she couldn't be more thrilled...

Tutu from Gram...

Hat and sweater made by GG Sybil! She calls the sweater her "yacket" (as in jacket) and we have gotten MUCH wear out it!

it's so funny to look at these pictures now...our house looks NOTHING like this anymore!

and the first thing they found were new matching retro trikes...

Mei didn't want to get off her's...this is her "no!" face...

Asty played Santa's helper for the first time (we always did this as a kid where one kid was designated to hand out gifts). He of course could read his own name but he could read my name because Kate Kate, his besty, and I share the same name(they work on names a lot in school I think). The others he would guess at pretty much...I loved this and loved how into he was...

wow. you did it! i hate that feeling of not wanting to get the camera out to create more work. that's just plain silly, you know? i've been chillaxing on the picture taking/blogging too. just starting to let pictures go and not have to post every time i take shots. sometimes they're just gonna remain on my computer. who cares, you know? ok sorry for the venting but just saying, don't stress yourself/ourselves.

back to post-love all the wide angle action. really cool snow shots! love the snow in mj's hair. the princess stuff makes me happy and nakey ariel hanging out is too much. didn't realize asty got a matching trike. neato. will watch movie with kate in a bit.

Betty's buche de noel looks incredible. my mom used to make those long long time ago. i'm sure it tasted as good as it looked. cute matching trikes. love the snow pictures too.
