CDA Christmas Part II

After Christmas the Moreira clan had fun relaxing with kids and family, even though Troy was a bit feverish and Nathaniel had who knows what.

Troy continued to surprise his parents by climbing onto things. Getting down was another story.

"I'm totally going to eat that camera Dad. Watch..."

"...and this book..."

"...but this Truck is too big for my mouth. Instead I will just push it around -- how dumb. These people are so dumb." (Gibson: "...hair.......")

Wisdom from Grayam the Destroyer: "Building it up isn't half as cool as tearing it down."

We were also so happy to spend a night with the Brady/Lani Campbells and all of their cool gadgets and toys.

Some were more excited than others ;)

And some even cheated to get the upper-hand in a simple game of chase. Gotta love that Campbell competitiveness.

Which one is older again?

"Hey...dude with the camera...how about you get outaa my way before I pulverize you!"

Attempt 1 at Family Picture. Fail.

Attempt 2 at Family Picture. Partial success. Thanks George. You should have been in the back. Every child's face tells a different and unique story.

With Nathaniel back in Ol' Virginia, Cristy had fun with old friends in Idaho.
Naked babies make everyone happy. Even naked babies.
"WhoooOOH.........what?"
Wisdom from Nathaniel: "Grandma Sue...I'm pretty sure you should chose a new book."
"Girl time. Best for girls," says George.
"I don't care that I'm trapped because this toy is amazing."
"Hey...guys...where did George go?"

Christmas Day in Idaho, 2010

Nathaniel was so happy to see someone elses name pinned onto a stocking. Misery loves company!

Handsome menfolk! (Note: The Lakers lost! Yeah!)

Opening presents was very chaotic, as could be expected with so many kids. Cristy did her best to distribute the presents in a law-abiding way. Thank you Grandma Sue for our bean bag search toy thingy!
It is fun to watch kids get really excited about something!
No wonder Grandma Sue couldn't get any good pictures ;)
I'm fallen, and I can't get up...
Thanks to Matt for getting Sue Thomas Monson's biography. She liked it!
Brittany = wrapped gift. Dman = empty green box. Who is the family favorite?

George spent considerable amount of time explaining to Troy how he could make this gift better by giving him cooler clothes, a switch blade, and by painting black skulls on him. Thanks George.
The perfect gift for the newly engaged. It says, "we know you are too fat to just want enough food to fit into one pan, so we got you this really really big pan to make you happy."
If this is what 4 kids does to parents facial expressions then we're not interested.
Sadie is becoming such a good helper. Every time Nathaniel or Cristy turned around she was helping some baby with something. Thanks Sa!
A little basket time for the kids...
Troy says, "Get outta my barrel!"
Kevin says, "Squirrel!"
Gibson says, "I'm pooping -- leave me alone!"
Troy says, "I'm going to push you out of this bucket and steal your hat..."
...yeah...

"Let me see your face..."
"and your hairs..."
"...and your hat again -- I wasn't done with it yet."

Some are more intense than others...
Sweet girls!
