No Place Like Home for Christmas

We have a current tradition of staying at our home with our immediate family on Christmas day, but for the past several years we've been "going home" for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving. I think Ev and Steph started this tradition so we could all avoid mailing gifts. This year I could hardly keep track of my two boys' gifts as they were opened while watching Lexi (and the grown-ups, too) in between. The upcoming years will be even more of a challenge with 6 kiddos. (Not all mine. Check the next post for details.)
