Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Twas the Night Before Christmas

Christmas Eve at the Dunks. Children nestled, snug, beds. Sugarplums in heads. No kerchief no cap. Short nap.

A Snowy Christmas Eve

Ho Ho Ho...Here Comes the Snow!

Decorating The Tree

Here are the lovely Dunk children decorating the family Christmas tree. How cherubic are they! And to top off the evening, Gracie plays her violin to great applause. (I won't mention all of the fighting over who gets to put on which ornament that almost sent all parties to bed).

Picking Out The Perfect Tree

Hello Christmas Tree! We made our traditional trek down to the shop in our neighborhood and picked out our tree. Gracie was so proud because she was able to help carry it home for the first time. Big girl!

Rent Snuggle

Gracie and Rob spent several evenings watching the DVD recording of the last Broadway performance of RENT together. Gracie loves the music and dancing. I'm pretty sure the content of much of the musical goes over her head. Here's how I found them when I got home from work, all snuggled up watching the show.

Halloween!

Halloween Fun. Gracie was Spongebob. Alex was Jason from Friday the 13th. Rob was half crazy. I was H1N1 Phobic. I had 500 latex gloves, which wound up being the life of the party. The last photos show Gracie and Fiona stuffing air filled balloons in their pants and shirts. Holy rubber gloves!
