Second Christmas!

As soon as the last presents were unwrapped on Christmas morning,

it was time to get ready for our Second Christmas

with Uncle Ted, Aunt Annie, Abby and Barrett!

We all enjoyed a yummy brunch...

... and another round of opening presents!

Then, we got out Kate's new parachute!

I think it was hit...

but take a look at these pictures

and let me know what you think.

Just in case the kids weren't hyper enough

from the present-opening and parachute-play,

we decided to serve some dessert before naps!

In theory, the Jello Jigglers were for the kids

and Aunt Annie's impressive cherpumple was for the adults

but there was plenty of cross-over!

For those of you that don't read the Wall Street Journal,

a "cherpumple" is a layered dessert

that combines a cherry pie baked inside of a white cake,

a pumpkin pie baked inside of a yellow cake,

and an apple pie baked inside a spice cake.

The result is pure gluttony!

As per usual, Matthew slept through most of the festivities!
