Christmas Day

Merry Christmas!

Well, Merry Christmas about a month ago, anyway.

I'm finally starting to get caught up and now we're actually at the Christmas Day pictures. Aren't you excited? I know you've been waiting and waiting.

Wait no more! The pictures are finally here...

I thought we'd start with Mommy & Daddy and Uncle Shaun & Aunt Jaime opening up their Wii's just because after this, it's pretty much all about the kids.

Handy Manny is out to find it and fix it (whatever "it" might happen to be)!

What boy doesn't love Tonka trucks? And the dump truck is actually metal!! Now that's cool!

Nate works on fixing things, too. Here he is, all Black & Deckered out! (Wow, that was probably my worst attempt at humor since 1974.)

Rather than see what kinds of new toys, games and other presents he might have, Kyle would rather grab Nate's guitar and jam!

Hmmm. The boys may eventually do well driving in England like this. For the US, though, they may have to adjust which side of the road they should stay on.

Now, why in the world would GG have gotten a bicycle bell for Christmas?

Unless it's to put on her new bike!

Kyle takes stock of his new video games to go with his new V-Motion console.

Nate checks out some of his own video games on his new computer.

Nate inspects his Daddy's new tools to make sure they are high enough quality. He doesn't want his dad to embarrass him with second-rate tools.

The tools pass Kyle's inspection, too. Here you go, Uncle Shaun. You're clear to use it.

A Day at the Park, by Jaime Lehman. How cool is that? A book starring the boy's favorite stuffed animals complete with pictures of them in various places around the park in Anthem.

Uh-oh. Nate got a train with his Lincoln Log set. Kyle pays attention to pretty much nothing else after that.

Though, he could be distracted to try bowling. Not very sportsmanlike to brag to the poor little Teddy bear about how good he is, though.

Well, that's all for the pictures for today. There are just a couple more Christmas pictures. Hopefully, I'll make it by Grandma's today to see if she's got any more pics for me to post.

Grandma = Carrington/Lehman's unofficial family photographer. Too bad Theresa isn't out this way. We'd have three times as many pictures and she'd Photoshop the heck out of them and make them look like something out of a magazine.

Speaking of which, why don't we all call Dave and Theresa and talk them into coming on out here. Please don't all dial at once and flood the phone line.

Until next time....TTFN!
