Our Jolly Holiday

This is the house Roo's parents rented for all 8 brothers and sisters & families to gather for the week's festivities. 

Here is Roo overcome with the spirit of the festivities.

Here is Reed/Dad/Boy Tutu looking like the picturesque patriarch in front of the christmas tree. 

Here the corgis and stuffed monkeys are lowing at the nativity.

 

Troy and Nancee entertaining the little ones. We spent most of our time keeping the dogs from eating the sippy cups, foraging for food in the sofas, and pooping on the floors--we were only marginally successful...

This is our humble little tree in our apartment. 

(We keep our tree small because the quantity of presents look larger in proportion to the miniature tree. This really keeps the Christmas spirit vibrant in our home.) 

Since the budget has been tight this year, Roo found this stray cat to cook up for our Christmas dinner...just kidding...it wasn't a stray cat.
