Brace Yourselves for the onslaught of Christmas Past!

Hey all, it's guest blogger Cara! We are finally ready to share some of our photos from our two straight weeks of Christmas. There are about 20 pictures, so if you don't have a good 5 minutes to peruse this post, STOP NOW!

To give everyone a quick update, this is what happened over Christmas:
We saw family every day from Dec. 23rd to Jan. 4.
Teresa cut 2 teeth in one week. That gives her a total of eight so far, and it means she has cut all of them in the span of 3 months.
Teresa was very excited about opening presents, but once the mystery was gone, she wasn't so enthused.
My parents gave Teresa a Dora the Explorer backpack that sings....and it's irritating so of course T loves it! Ken and I are plotting it's demise.
I got lost on a walk in Ottawa and ended up fainting in the shower....long story (but funny)

So without further ado, here are the pics:


Ooooo, presents Thanks Uncle Jeffie


Pudding is one of Teresa's favourite things


Yay! Christmas jammies.


"Helping" Auntie open presents


All smiles on Christmas morning.


Stocking time!


Thanks for the stuff Mom!

T's new chair


Yes, Ken does this EVERY year!


I made our parents and T's Godparents a book with month by month pics of her first year, here she is looking at it with grandma


Oooooo, shiny


Noooo, I specifically asked for the pink one!


Let me help Dad, you are obviously new at this.


Hmmmm, what could this be?


Yay Duplo!


Grandma opening her gift from Ken and I.


Teresa and Owen, tub buddies until it becomes grossly inappropriate.


Yes, Ken is wearing Teresa's hat.


Shenanigans at Carolyn and Mikes'


That grandpa is such a sucker...I mean good sharer.


Drunk hungry men playing cards.


Hmm, which end explodes?


New Years baby


The original Yost clan plus Teresa. No spouses allowed, sniff.


It wouldn't be a post without photos of potential injuries!

Well, that was our Christmas in a nutshell. Now were revert back to the daily grind.

Until it becomes inappropriate???
Right. Cara wasn't there to see her sweet little T with a thoroughly fascinated "what's that dangly thing???" expression on her face. This was followed by some pointing and a couple of pokes...

I think you should send her to the convent NOW!!! :) :)

Adorable as always, but what was this about getting lost on a walk in Ottawa??? And fainting in the shower? Sounds like you had a much more interesting time out here than I heard about!

Ed, this is what happens when you have your own family dramas to deal with... you weren't around for the incident or any of Cara's at-least-three retellings

Backpack, backpack...

Crap! Now it's back in my head after two weeks of backpack-less bliss. Damn you Cara!!!
