Merry Christmas 2006!

The Erwin clan enjoyed a fine rest from the hustle and bustle of Washington D.C. life, spending our Christmas with Grammy and Grandpop Linde here at home. We had our own little Christmas Eve carol and Scripture reading time, and then, the big day -- tons of presents for all! Huzzah! Enjoy the pictures below!

Most people have angels or stars atop their Christmas trees. We have a mouse with a moustache.

Princess Abby in her lovely new Christmas gown.

Grumpy Christmas elf...

Happy Christmas elf!

The kids and Delilah, our Christmas bear. She's the oldest.

Sean's got this thing where, when you have him over your knee to burp him, he rears up, so's to see what's happening.

Happy boy!

Sean getting airplaned!

Uhhh... that's my, uh... my.... ear? Mama?

Just hanging' out...

Grandpop and Sean have a meeting of the minds.

Grammy and Abby enjoying a lighter moment.

Hard to keep the camera still when using no flash... nonetheless, here's our house all decorated up.

For those of you who receive Erwin family buckeyes at Christmas, now you know what you're eating...

Merry Christmas!

Abby in the angel costume she wore for her school Christmas pageant. She was part of the "Angel Ensemble." They sang "Away In A Manger."

Hey! I'm naked, here! Ixnay on the amerakay!

Come on... say it... you know I'm cute...

Sean's really getting into his little jungle gym thingy lately.

Abby also visited Madelyn recently. Must've been later in the day, given the insane looks on their faces.

Abby's good friend Anna came to visit recently. Abby clearly was happy about all this.

Our little towelhead.

We love our swing... 

We love our swing, now. We're figuring out how to work the lights and music. 

Aunt Susie stopped by to meet Sean last week. He's a good boy. Though he looks like he has gas, here.
