Dinner

And finally, the festive dinner.

After a busy day of opening gifts, drinking coffee and eating whatever we could find, we did manage to cook a christmas dinner. The turkey looked beautiful. The potates were masterfully mashed and the yams were carmelized to perfection....

When Bows go Bad

Here is what happens when your presents get control!

More presents!

Here is the last of the present opening. This is a video of the "red" opening. For those of you who dont know what this means, I will fill you in. Aunt Linda decided to have a themed christmas present opening this year. So she bought all presents from the Gap's "red" line, which donated 1/2 of all profits to help fight aids in africa. This is the video of us opening the red gifts.



Here is the group shot of all of us in our red clothes. Mine and mom's shirt say "Inspi(red)," Jen's says "Sco(red)," Adam's say's "Hamm(red)" and Dave's is a white hoody that is obviously good for flashing!




And here we all are with our christmas presents...or at least as many as we can hold!

Christmas Presents

On Christmas morning, rubbing my sleepy eyes, I walked down the stairs to see that Santa and his family had visited our tree. Even Cow was excited!



Once all the sleepy eyed people got coffe and a bagel and OJ and more coffee and cigarettes and more coffee and a pastry, we started opening the stockings. And what did we find but candy pooping christmas animals!




So after our animal entertainment, we dove right into the presents! Well, after some more coffee and food of course! But then, right into the presents!

Adam and Jen looking so cute on the couch, next to a fat chicken whose bum is practically falling off the couch. Dave and I next to the gift Trish and Randy gave to us. Of course we look much better in the framed picture! The third pic is Ray and Meridith looking at the present Dave and I gave them for Yule.




Here is Adam getting very excited about opening a gift...and then him wearing the cashmere present!



Here is Dave opening...and then wearing his fabulous cashmere sweater! We love the cashmere santa!!!



And here is a horrible pic of Adam, Jen, Dave and myself wearing "We love our old house" shirts! and it's true...we do love our old house!



And here is a picture of my feet wearing very comfy slipper from Patrick! ummmm....warm feet!
