On the thirteenth day of December..

...we watched Kung Fu Panda Christmas or something like that.  I guess it just isn't Christmas without a little Kung Fu Panda!  (Of course we had popcorn.)

I like how Jack doesn't even turn his head away from the TV while fishing for some popcorn.

Brendan wasn't really into this holiday special, so he thought he would spread some holiday cheer by sharing handfuls of popcorn with me..

Jack thought that was very nice, so he did the same...

Rory likes her popcorn too much, so she didn't feel the need to share!

On the eleventh day of December...

..we got our Christmas tree!!!

The kids annual ornaments from Mammy and Kip

We had a cut a lot off the top so the angel would fit!

Jack and I hanging Lightning McQueen front and center.

Brendan and I hanging his fire truck.

Little Miss Thing was all about taking charge of the decorating!

I love our tree!

On the tenth day of December...

...we had a little problem  :(  Our plan was to go to the annual downtown Christmas parade..this thing is HUGE, it's 3 hours long!  Problem is, Jack woke up Saturday with a burst ear drum and therefore, in a pretty grumpy mood. 

On the bright side, Brendan was going to his first Birthday party!!!!  Bryan took him to Sean's party, his friend from school, and they had a great time!

Rory, Jack and I stayed home and crafted a gingerbread train!

When I say crafted, I mean ate most of the candy and the frosting which then made the train cars collapse about 2 seconds after I snapped this picture!  Fa la la la la!!!

On the ninth day of December...

...we had milk and cookies and crafts with Santa!

 You'll just have to trust us that Santa was there..we're still waiting on the pictures!

On the eighth day of December...

...we busted out the big popcorn bowl again..

..and we watched "Santa Clause is Coming to Town"..

I love how Brendan is smashing the popcorn into his face!  This is only time he eats popcorn!

On the sixth day of Decemeber...

...Jack insisted he change the baby dolls "poopy" diaper...I consider this a Christmas miracle, Bryan calls it embarrassing...just look at how cute!

On the fifth day of December...

We popped some popcorn and watched a new special "Prep & Landing: Naughty vs. Nice"
