Just the thought of all that planned activity makes me shutter! LOL Anyway, I almost did send out a REAL Christmas pose last year but then chickened out. I had a perfect shot of Nolan having a total melt down temper tantum, my son Max rolling his eyes and Helen giving Quinton funny ears behind his head and Phoebe wearing a dress and sprawling out. It really would have a been classic. ~Michelle I thoroughly enjoyed reading your 12 days of Christmas! Just the thought of all that planned activity makes me shutter!

Second, while I am sure you have edited somethings out this will be the way your kids come back and say "see it wasn't perfect when we were little either" once they have kids and only remember the best parts! Hope your recovery is going MUCH better! First, thanks for sharing and making me feel normal and I don’t even have four kids YET.

So we'll go when the rest of the world returns to school. Dawn - we managed to cancel the tea set before it went into production thank goodness becuase it was personalized and i'm guessing we couldn't ebay a tea set that says "Addy-Mai" on it! haha Tara - on day 11 I meant all the OTHER kids in our neighborhood go back to school so we can skate in peace :) Seriously it is SO busy at the rink that I have no desire to fight the Holiday Break crowd just to go skating.

And I've never seen the 2000 version of the Life & Adventures! I always catch the weird 1985 version. Have to check out the 2000 version... anything has to be better than the '85 version. Talk about bizarre. :x Ebay the tea set.

So, thank you! :) And I agree with you on the christmas letters - I tried to keep it real this year and it just irked me to get letters where all the children are perfect and "the best" and "so talented" - I mean, yes, every child is wonderful, but really? Puh-leeze.
