On the third day of Christmas...

Or, "A post in which Will wears something other than his Christmas sweater or dino jammies." ;)

Dec. 27 was our Christmas with the Metternich/Neumuller clan. Will and Elle don't see their Neumuller cousins often enough, and they always have a ball.
Can't you tell? Will and Ashley humored us a little, but Elle and Matt weren't too keen on the idea of a photo opp. You'd think we were pulling their teeth (foreshadowing...).
We don't have video games. Yet. And I plan to hold off/out as long as possible. But Will couldn't resist the lure to shoot battle droids. Or super battle droids. Or droidekas. I'm so ignorant. I'm also not ready to admit my baby is this old! Who is that teenager?
Ellie found her way to the Christmas cookies... more specifically Rich's rum balls, which Elle gave an enthusiastic thumbs up. Don't worry, she didn't drive home.
To make the evening especially exciting, the gorgeous Ashley lost a tooth! I had no idea how the once-enviable loose tooth would make me squeamish. Blah. I suspect we have a few years before the Tooth Fairy visits our house. At our rate, Will may be 9!
