Eighty.Three/Three.Six.Five

If you have been around this group for any (even brief) period of time, then you are well aware that Karoke will take hold at some point in the evening.

This might have been one of the best 'living room concerts' to date.

(Sidenote:  The lyrics of a song take on a whole new meaning when you hear your child sing them...especially when blasted over a microphone.)

Eighty.Two/Three.Six.Five

It's the first time in 4 years the entire crew has been back together.

Cousins.  What a lucky bunch.

And my goodness, I love these kids.

Their individuality.  Their quirks.  Their differences.  Their spunk.

I love it all.

And the fact that they all are half Finkel, makes me really damn proud.

Eighty.One/Three.Six.Five

When the Finkel Christmas is being hosted at the Sorhus house, one thing is guaranteed.

There will be an abundance of fine dining, accompanied by GREAT food and GREAT wine.

Eighty/Three.Six.Five

It's Christmas morning, and everyone is ready to begin!

Seventy.Nine/Three.Six.Five

The children were nestled, all snug in their beds....

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Seventy.Eight/Three.Six.Five

This picture is classic.

Always an excuse, Uncle Jeff.

Even when playing a game on Christmas Eve with your 9 year old niece.

Seventy.Seven/Three.Six.Five

It's a big moment every Christmas Eve.  And this year was even BIGGER - not just $1.00 lottery tickets, but $5.00 lottery tickets!

Unfortunately, it doesn't typically pan out well for any of the grandkids.  

But this year there was a win of $100!  

Unfortunately, it wasn't by Ally or Lily.
