17
missed calls on Keegan's phone he deliberately didn't pick up
5

8
kids "Uncle Brady" had in the hot tub in their undies in below-freezing temps
5

5
bags of microwave popcorn we ruined before realizing the microwave was wacked
12
kids we took to the "Bouncing Off the Walls" fun center (which was exactly how we felt!)
23
degrees Fahrenheit the day we left the house to go sledding

Hope your Christmas was as merry—and hairy—as ours!
