Christmas Day Highlights

So what was in all those packages?

Well, there was lotion!

Joseph.  Yours is not lotion; it's soap.

One of the most exciting presents came from Mr. Jim (and Mrs. Pat)!

Didn't matter what was inside.  It was from Mr. Jim!

But the inside racetrack was great fun.

A toolbox.  Can you feel the joy?

Joseph had picked out some shoes for me to give him.  He was all sarcastic-y surprised to open the box. 

...and find that I'd wrapped something else in it.  Surprise.

Some books that were re-gifted from Joseph's youth

... still captivating. 

In fact, G sat happily and played with each gift he opened.  It makes me wonder about exchanging the "Christmas morning flood" next year for some kind of "Advent (Hanukah?) one-gift-each-night celebration."  Has anyone done that?  Thoughts?

After gifting, we were off.  My family was all out of state, but we got to celebrate with Joseph's relatives.  So fun!

And it involved G wearing a tie... You know he was thrilled to look so handsome.

And then the day was over.  A blur.  A fun blur.

Hope you had a fun blur too.
