It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Morgan was the first one up, and tried to be patient while the rest of us were rousted out of bed.

My father was able to join us via Skype from Saudi Arabia.

New Roller Skates!

Patrick got a few very nice things, including the Maltby 3 Wood golf club above and a Kindle!

My "big" gift, a new Shark steam mop (and yes, I asked for it!)

A serious Hungry Hungry Hippos tournament went on between Big DB, Cecelia, and Morgan.

Morgan painting her wooden dachshund, a gift from Aunt Cecelia's sister, Jenny.

We had such a wonderful Christmas. So many presents, tons and tons of laughs, and a great day with family. I can't remember the last time I was so relaxed and had a such a great day.

Thank you to all of our family and friends for the gifts, and more importantly the love and friendship you have given our family over the past 12 months. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
