Christmas Morning

Warning: Lots of Pictures!


We had a nice, early Christmas morning. We were joined by Toni, Dave, Kate, Steve and Matt. So, please keep that in mind when you look at the abundance of gifts. Geesh. It's almost embarrassing. Needless to say, Santa was very good to the Archers. Here are some pictures before the kids came downstairs. It seems Santa forgot to close the fireplace doors on his way out.

I never would have guessed, when I was at Geneseo, that some day Matt would sit with his niece and graciously hold her princess shoes and read her Pinkalicious books

My hair looks like I just passed through a wind tunnel here but it's the only pic I have from Christmas of me...so enjoy.

She wanted Steve to admire her new princess gown.

SO cute! I love that Lily has shoes on during the entire gift opening festivities. My favorite pictures are the wind tunnel pic and dave's self portrait. :-) I don't have any pics of me at Christmas either. boo. Looks like you had a lot of fun at Christmas with lots of family around!!

A few things I love in these photos:

-Your Christmas plate. Would that be Spode?

-David's pajama pants. Very Town and Country-ish. Have you asked him yet what he REALLY thinks about your plastic surgery?

-Your wind tunnel hair. Do you normally wake up with hair that straight and shiny, or are we seeing the results of a late night spent with the InStyler?

-Your gorgeous children. The only thing that makes me happier than seeing my own kids on Christmas morning is seeing yours. So glad they had a great day!
