Grace received an easel and some finger paints for Christmas. Fun. 
"Don't knock my smock or I'll clean your clock" --- Calvin & Hobbes.
Trinity painted a pretty picture of the ocean, seaweed, the sun, sky, and a pink 'T' for Trinity.
I love the painting of your lion, Gracie. Good job, Honey.
My mother gave this puzzle to Gregory as a challenge. Ha
It wasn't easy, but someone had to solve the puzzle.
Way to go, Gregory!
Oh, my gosh! I was so excited! I decided to open the smaller box first.
A gorgeous silk scarf. This will look great with a pair of jeans and a white dress shirt.
O.K. Ready to see what's inside the big Hermes box?
Ooh la la. The perfume smells so nice. There is also a set of cards with different pictures of how to tie the scarves. An awesome wrap around leather bracelet, and a twilly, which is a small silk scarf.
Here is the leather bracelet. The clasp is the same on my Birkin purse, and also on the perfume bottle. I love it. Thank you so much, Gregory!
This is the twilly scarf. It can be worn around the neck, or tied on a ponytail, or on my purse....
Gregory's dad, Sorin, orchestrated a wonderful concert for Christmas day.
Felicity was playing the piano.
This is Felicity's new (antique) piano stool. This was one of her Christmas presents, and she found it when we asked her to play a Christmas carol for us. I love the claws and the glass/crystal balls on the feet.
Sorin on the violin.
Mary Margaret on the guitar, Eva on the cello.
Sorin also sang some Christmas songs in German and Romanian, while the rest of the band played their instruments. Gregory is playing cello. It was so nice to hear this lovely music being played by our family.
Heather just opened a very pretty playmobil castle fantasy set. Sweet.
Thomas has his new playmobil soldiers all set up.
Thomas found this chocolate bar in his stocking. It's NOT for girls! I love it.
Felicity and Mary are checking out their stocking stuffers.
Trinity is having fun with some toys from her Grampa Mike & Nana Ruth.
Whoa! Thomas got this awesome BB gun for Christmas! Too cool.
This is such a fun present! Eva got a Robosapien!
We were all cracking up as Eva controlled the robot - he can bowl, track things, talk...
...and even dance. I think every home should have a dancing robot! Fun for the whole family.
The stockings are filled.
He ate the cookies and drank all the milk.
Yay! He left presents, too!
Here is the birthday girl surrounded by her brother and almost all her sisters. Where's Felicity?
We all enjoyed a piece of cake for breakfast. Why not? It is Christmas, after all.
Happy 4th birthday, Sweetie. Love you.
Trinity and Thomas have their gifts.
Ooh. Trinity got a webkin bear. Cute.
What's in the bag, Felicity?
A toy llama! Felicity loves llamas and collects them.
Grace and Mary look ready to open a present!
Everyone loved Mary's i-fish.
Coolness!
Heather and her webkin penguin. 
Eva got The Daring Book for Girls.
Prima is getting into the Christmas spirit by allowing Cin-Cin to put a gold bow an her head. Good doggy.
This is the nicest advent calendar we have had. The children also get a chocolate advent calendar each, but in the middle of December our naughty dog ate all the chocolates out of the calendars! (with the exception of Heather's) Bad dog.
The kids open one little window each day.
Guess who is behind the Dec. 24th window? It's Sweet Baby Jesus. Aw.
Merry Christmas!
Gregory and Gracie are dancing.
That looks like fun! Trinity is waiting her turn.
Wheee!
