A Barnhart Christmas

Top Ten Barnhart Christmas Traditions:

10. Saying "Do you wanna do chores....eat breakfast....or open presents? PRESENTS!!!!!" (this actually starts about 1 week prior to Christmas, and all accompanying faces must be made)
9. Develop and hone our vulture-like eating habits
8. Lots of computers (and by lots I mean more computers than people)
7. Everyone making complete fools of themselves for the two smallest members of the family
6. Taking pictures...of people taking pictures...of other people taking pictures
5. Sneaking your Christmas presents under the tree as if they weren't wrapped hastily only seconds ago in the other room.
4. Opening gifts about 4 hours after scheduled to begin (because we just finished wrapping them)
3. 14 trips to Meijer
2. Ben's world-renowned pineapple upside-down cake
1. The 7 hour gift-opening marathon, including commentary and frequent, unexplained breaks

If these are the things that have made up your Christmas day, you may as well admit that you are most definitely a Barnhart. Don't try to fight it; its much easier if you just give in.

Merry Christmas!

And because this is what we all get excited about, here are a few pictures of the two sweetest girls around.
