We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year....fa la la la la la la la la

. We kept busy this year, as per usual. For once, Dad was home from Libya, Matt and Taryn were in town from the DC area, and Joe and Mel were home from N.C. I don't remember the last time everyone was together in the Haute and we've never had all 5 of the kiddos together before. So we celebrated on Christmas Eve with them. We tried to get a picture with all 5 kids before leaving for Mass. You can see how that went....Lily really is in that picture. She just just hiding behind Matt and Gabe. Christmas day Santa came to our house (oohh the girls were excited), and we had the Wong family Christmas in the afternoon/evening. We had a delicious dinner. Ari was still in South Korea and couldn't make it home for Christmas - she was missed, but thanks to modern technology, we were able to talk to her on Christmas Day as well. Here are some pics from last weekend.

Day care is closed this week so I'm home with the girls (working part time b/c things are so crazy at work, but also getting plenty of much needed QT with the girls).

Tonight we're doing absolutely nothing for New Years. That's okay, though. Barclay is going to cook us all dinner and we'll shoot off some fireworks on the back porch. I don't think either of us are up for a night on the town since we've been so busy lately! For those of you who are partying it up (Abbie and Ari), be safe and have fun!
