Santa Came To Our House

Everyone in the house celebrated Christmas this year.


Whether they liked it or not!
Joe had an incredible time opening his gifts. Some of the things he got: a suit, a couple of video games, an Ipod adapter for the car and a wallet full of gift cards
Oh and a hat that matches Sarah's.
This year in school, Joe is taking Woods. He made this beautiful clock for me! I love it! Sarah got me a cute head band and toe puppets which will be apart of our Kwanzaa celebration! Kathleen gave me a pretty candlelit oil scent holder that I can't wait to use, and Rachael made me a really cute hat and some sugar scrub!
Yes, I am spoiled! Marty made me a beautiful bracelet and matching ring.
Sarah had lost her necklace from Chichen Itza. It brought tears to her eyes when she saw this gift. Thanks Megan and Chris for helping me replace it! She also got a camera, a printer and a bunch of other Black Friday deals. Lucky girl!
Santa knew just what to put in my stocking! Guitar Hero--Van Halen! How did he know? Joe was impressed as well!
Marty got a lot of great things. He got a bunch of arrow making supplies and a watch. Today the watch is actually keeping time. I was a little worried that I would have to return it.
This new Kitchen Aid came in handy when I made waffles for our Christmas morning breakfast.
One of the cool things about having a Dad who makes jewelery, is that you can design a ring and your dad will make it for you! This is a CTR ring.
We even got to see Rachael and Taylor on Christmas! Skype is a blessing! I was missing Rachael so much and this helped.
When Kathleen and Eric came in the afternoon they opened their gifts! I was glad that I spent the night in Wal-Mart on Black Friday--just for this picture! They were excited to get a new television!
Sarah is modeling the gifts Rachael made her. She loves the headband.....

The hat...
and the feather headband. (I will have to model my hat when I don't look like I have been fighting strep throat and an allergic reaction to penicillin).So now it is time to put away all the decoration (even Millie's antlers) until next Christmas.
