Red-dy for a Snack

During Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, I must have taken over 250 photos and about 75% of them contained red. I chose this photo because I like the red against the neutral tones of the kitchen.

My son, who is normally pretty shy, will not hesitate to turn on the charm when food is involved. Here he is trying to find out what his aunt is preparing for the guests. I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to hit her up for a sample or two.

Christmas 2009: Lunch and Gifts at My Sister's & BIL's House

Our first stop on Christmas Day was my sister's and brother-in-law's house. My parents also live in an in-law apartment there, so it was the perfect place to have a little lunch and to exchange gifts.

We had lots of kid-friendly finger foods. Throw in some colorfully wrapped toys and books and we have ourselves a fun afternoon. Everyone was too generous this year. My parents bought us a 17" laptop and my sister and BIL surprised us with a 4-piece luggage set. Now my husband and I are all set for Blogher 2010!

I think the biggest hit was the toy vacuum for Luke. All three children have been fighting over it since it was opened on Christmas Day.

I wanted to steal the cuddly New England Patriots blanket my father received. I don't really watch football, but I might start if I could snuggle up in that!
