I am there with you on the kids getting dressed part. I don't get it. Oh well. It seems like you had a pretty good Christmas. I hope all is well.
I love Christmas by the numbers. Why are you so cute and witty? Why, oh why, can't I be like you? And why, oh why, don't babies ever want to sleep? It's a good thing babies are so cute, right? And kudos to you for traveling such long distances in the car with a baby. You are so brave.
