Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The children were nestled all snug by the tree
In Grandpa & Grandma's new addition they just finished, YIPPEE!
And then on Christmas Eve we began the celebration,
With the birthday girl getting presents from every relation.
Grandpa's efforts were futile in teaching Mack to crawl--
But Mack could puke on his Dad in no time at all.
The babies were dressed up from their heads to their feet,
And all the games being played made this Christmas Eve complete.
The next morning we woke up to a beautiful sight
Out the window, the world was covered in white.
As the children posed for a picture by the tree,
The anticipation of their presents filled them with glee.
The stockings were hung by the railing so neat
Filled with peppermints, oranges, and chocolatey treats.
With not a moment to lose, the kids dug right in--
A CARS truck for Hunter; for Preslie, some twins.
Even Baby Mack was having quite a ball
He got 2 packs of diapers, the best gift of all!
Later on in the evening came big Sis with her crew,
And those of us with one baby wonder how she does it with two!
Everyone loved baby Zya's big smiles,
And all her cute outfits; her mama dresses her in style.
And what family gathering would be as complete
If it didn't include some death defying feat?
While the babies were warm inside all dressed in their sleepers,
Little Bro was outside making his snow jump a little steeper...
This Christmas was grand, and the company was great,
Here's wishing all our loved ones the best in 2008!

You are so cute Tristie! I loved this! Thank you for the Christmas card. I love your family picture, and your update made me laugh over and over. I am ashamed to report I didn't get cards out this year. Maybe I'll do a Valentine's greeting :)
