So there's how many of you?

One, two, three, brad's cut out of the pic but that's four...five. Six, seven, eight...::counting in my head and not out loud now::
Ummm...16?


The three of us didn't do such a good job of looking at the same camera.


Christmas Eve was a good time for Autumn. I'm pretty sure everyone gave her a piece of chocolate at least once. Look at those lips.


She's in her pajamas and still eating chocolate.


Mike's mom has this little set up in the playroom with chairs that have Autumn's and Tyler's names on them. Autumn went straight for the one that was hers. She also liked to pick up the chairs and rearrange them.


Also in the playroom: The Riding Train of Awesomeness. I have a video of that I need to post. I was pretty happy with how Autumn interacted with Tyler. She was mostly sweet and gentle. I was kind of concerned because she can be fairly violent with her toys. Hahahaha. One of the best things was Tyler's pacifier. If he lost it and she noticed, Autumn would carry it back to him and pop it into his mouth. Another funny time was when Tyler was pressing buttons on some electronic equipment. Autumn started gasping and flapping like she was trying to tell him to stop before he got in trouble.


The family tradition is to give out "sibling gifts" on Christmas Eve and then close out the night with a family photo. How fun is that?


We ended up giving Autumn her presents, too. I did a good job picking what was her only gift from us: A doll and stroller. Too good of a job because when we took it away to get her to open other gifts, she had her first major meltdown. Nice. We got her settled down and appropriately informed that meltdowns are not acceptable (haha), she was great with the gifts and we gave her stroller back.


Kyle was the first one to notice that the doll really looks creepily like Autumn. Haha. It was weird to look at the top of their two heads. I couldn't get a good photo but this one was all right. Note the very similar outfits.


And that's it for Christmas Eve! I'm slowly but surely plugging my way through the holidays!
