The Cornerstone class had a Christmas weekend lunch today, celebrating our continued (and growing) fellowship.
Merry Christmas!

Christmas Evening
Last night the frousins got together to celebrate Jesus's and Ray's (Brian's Dad) birthday, with some extended family in tow. After the festivities we all had a brief ornament exchange.
Lots of fun was had until the kids starting melting down near the end- some of them having been up for almost 18 hours by that point. Four out of five kids were screaming in the car for the first half of the ride home, with Katharine humming to herself as loudly as she could in order to drown out the noise.
Iria and I both fell asleep on the couch that night, a first for us.
Frousin Murphy
The Murphys are part of the "frousin" circle, whom we often meet up with on holidays and special occasions. They wanted to sit for an unofficial family portrait yesterday- so here you go.
Brian, Finn, Ava and Stefanie.
With Brian's parents.
Seasonal Socks
The Martel kids gave Iria some Santa socks at a party last week, and of course Iria found a way to rock them.

Christmas Morning
Had a great Christmas, and the family is now relaxing and watching the Disney parade.
Fun facts:
"3:15 AM" - the time when Lukas, Lennon and Katharine woke up
"3:30 AM" - when they woke up Iria
"3 hours and 40 minutes" - the amount of time it took them to harass me out of bed
"14 minutes and 50 seconds" - the amount of time it took them to unwrap their presents
"still counting..." - the time it is taking us to clean up

Shub Naya Baras!
What's becoming yet another annual tradition is grabbing some Indian food after church on Christmas Eve.
Oh yeah... the title means "Merry Christmas" in Indian (at least according to Google).
