Christmas With The Hobbs

Here are my men in their matching pj's...
And Madi and I in ours.
This takes a bit of explanation. See, Madison has apparently been paying a lot of attention to what Santa has to do on Christmas, and recently she has been expressing concern over him having to eat that many cookies and drink that much milk in one night. So when I went to make some cookies for Santa (I had some cookie dough leftover in the fridge) so they would be fresh for him, she insisted that we give him somthing healthy instead. She said that he would probably get a stomach ache if we fed him more cookies, so she dug through the fridge and got him out some salad. The piece of fudge was a concession she made when Brian expressed concern that Santa may not eat the salad if there wasn't something good to eat afterward. She cracks me up.
And here are Madison and Benjamin opening up their presents on Christmas morning. I know that these pictures are REALLY late, and there is really no excuse...so..sorry? Anyway, we had a great time this year. After we opened presents and talked to our families, we went to our friends the Jensen's house for dinner and let the kids ransack the bedrooms while we all played Rook. Then when Ben couldn't stand being awake any longer and Madison had driven everyone insane, we went home and went to bed. Pretty laid back, and I really liked not having to clean up after the big dinner...or to have to cook the big dinner, really. Hopefully next year I'll get on the ball earlier and have everything done before Christmas so we can post regularly.....well, we can always hope!
