Natasha preparing to make Xander fly
On their way to the ceiling!
Ari not-so-subtly asking that Natasha make him fly, too.
Playing chase.
Then PRESENTS began. Ari was so excited about his British "cah" I started cracking up.
Xander giving David a huge hug in thanks... it's a basketball hoop!
Helping Liz unwrap her white elephant gift.
That Starbucks gift didn't last long - it was stolen next turn!
The whole room bust up when I opened up Liz's offering... socks. :)
Alicia dubious of the camera.
Marissa sharing her new video game.
David had to either laugh or cry at the way people kept taking his chosen present.
Nicole and her sparkly headband.
Ari wanting his close-up, too.
Playing with their new stunt cars, in the moment before the cars' wheels became fluorescent and they took off.
After dinner Ari learned a new word... "choc pie!" If you look closely you can see that he has a fork in both hands. The bobby pin in his hair had to be taken out and rinsed, due to a lovely coating of chocolate.
Leaving the hotel the next day. It was a wonderful trip, and I was so glad to have seen everybody!
Well, these photos are priceless....the entire series. And I love that you are helping your children understand that it's okay to participate with others as they celebrate their holidays while at the same time knowing that it's not their holiday. Did that make sense? The love and energy in these shots are great! It looks like everyone had a wonderful time together. And I bet no one stole the socks you opened, Michal! Love you all,
