Big Curry Christmas

This was Christmas for the Curry family that includes Tom's family. I know, that's an awful lot of Christmas, but the more merriment, the better! Samantha has taken to calling this 'fake' Christmas much to the chagrin of Grandma and Poppa, but Tom and I both find our immature funny bones rumbling with laughter at how a child's sense of rules and legitimacy work!

We were really spoiled by them this year, especially the kids, and had quite a haul to take home. Maybe Christmas isn't so 'fake' anymore! LOL! Anyhow, Sammy was quite the ham and scene stealer all day, and made it hard to get pictures of other people. I managed to get a lot of Finn because he moves so much, and some nice ones with Grandma, but I have virtually none with Poppa or Bob without her standing in the middle of them, or darting in and out of them. Needless to say she was quite excitable with all the gifts, and very interested in what everyone else got, as well as what she did!

Well, here are the pics I did get!

You mean we get presents here, too? This is CRAZY!

It's time to get festive!

Thanks for helping grandma, but I'd rather not wear it.

Sam needed in on the action again. This is what most of my pics look like, LOL!

Even the hat became hers at some point! She looks cute in it though!

Does Bob know his brother, or what? What a fitting gift. Tom was pleased.

This spinny ball thing is Finn's NEW favorite toy.

I know, he cycles through faves in a hurry, but I SWEAR he was obsessed with the thing, and it didn't leave his side all night.

He was tired because he missed his nap, so he snuggled with it in Tom's lap while trying to sleep, still spinning and singing away!

Even with Sammy checking it out, he held tight to his new prize!

This toy is even good to sit on!

Man, is that comfy!

I like to play with it on Daddy, too.

Grandma picked a good toy, because I think I'll all but sleep with this one!

How come daddy never smiles?

Look at this COASTER! Let's compare and see if he likes it better than his presents...

Id' say this one is a tie.

The coaster wins this one hands down.

This one too.

mmm, this one is a tie. Well, not really! Of course, once he figures out that they DO things, he's going to go crazy! But it's just so funny what they find amusing at first.

Here are a few sweet smiles with Grandma while Poppa made faces!

Look at those dimples!

Finn was so tired! But even in his exhaustion he hardly held still. But for the moment I caught him calmly snuggling with grandma.

It's not a great action shot, but here is Poppa waiting for a gift on the couch.

Oh, and did I mention it's his birthday? He's old as dirt now, it's official.

And here's Bob eating trail mix. Sorry Bob, it's the only picture I got.

A sleepy boy on a comfy daddy.

Well, that's all for now, folks!
