Photo taken late evening on Christmas.
Things to notice/consider:
1. Compared to earlier in the day, this room is sort of clean.
2. Small child sitting on the chair is wearing the same Batman pajamas put on more than 24 hours earlier.
3. Larger child is wearing same pajama pants from previous day, plus new Penn State jersey, plus new Jazz hoodie.
4. Small child is in some sort of DS-induced trance only broken by brief intervals of joyous dancing.
4. Larger child is in some sort of Wii-induced trance only broken by brief intervals of eating and peeing.
5. Small dog on floor has small tufts of polyester stuffing at the corners of her mouth—leftovers from her stuffed squirrel Christmas present.
6. Adults (not pictured here) are in high-calorie-induced trances. And stretchy pants.
It was a merry Christmas. Hope yours was too.

I love the reflections in the glass – how warm and cozy!
Missed you guys soooooo much on Christmas, but it was great to see you “virtually”! Max and Christian are too handsome for their own good! Hope your day was merry! Thanks too, to Alyssa, the “Peruvian Angel”! May she travel safe and sound!
Love it! Stretchy pants here too!
Great picture! Thanks for sharing! Things were about the same at our house. We missed seeing you guys this Christmas. It just wasn’t the same!
I could so relate to the high-calorie-induced trances. We have those going on at our house too! I love how your photo just sort of summed up the day for all of us. So true to life!
That room they’re in is great! I love the windows and the built-in bookshelves. So nice.
The Wii is fun, isn’t it? The girls have one. Now you need to get…I forgot what it’s called, Rock Band? Something like that. You actually have your own mic, and sing along to awesome songs, while the family plays back up on their instruments. It’s a dream come true for those of us who once had visions of fame and glory.
We too experienced the joy of the Wii, the 2 days spent in pjs & the high-calorie induced comas of the holidays! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you!! I’m glad you had comfy stretchy pants!
That is my kind of picture.
And I challenge you to find one person that wasn’t in stretchy pants on Christmas.
thanks for giving me a merry Christmas
