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).
Christmas Eve
Another tradition of ours is attending the Christmas Eve church service.
Iria and Katharine are at the candlelight service as I post this, but we all caught the kiddie version together as a family earlier tonight.
Front row seats! And the kids behaved great.
During the service, all of the kids go up and hang ornaments on the tree.
Sometimes with a little help...
We always try and shoot some portraits, taking advantage of the beautiful setting and the kids being dressed up and in a relatively good mood (Christmas is tomorrow, what can be better than that?).
Afterwards we dashed off and did a brief ornament exchange with Gwen and Trinity.
Gingerbread Kids
One of our holiday traditions is to make a gingerbread house along with some extra cookies for the kids (and Santa) to eat.
