Merry Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas.  We've been relaxing and spending time with family.  There has been far too much egg nog, beef stick, sugar cookies, and french pancakes.  Christmas morning there were lots of presents to open.  I knitted my mom a hat and scarf.  Gia and Malinda got beaded necklaces.  I got a Kindle and a bunch of cooking stuff!  Brad got lots of photography stuff, including . . .

. . . his new Canon 7D!

I am never able to surprise Brad with gifts.  He always ruins the surprise long before it's time for gifts.  He says that it's a lot more fun for him to figure out what the gift is than to wait.  Not this year.  I had the camera mailed to my parent's house so Brad wouldn't be able to see, touch, or ask about his present.  He was completely surprised!  It was great to see his face after opening the box.

We spent the rest of the day playing with gifts, visiting at my grandparent's house, and eating lots of Christmas food.  Merry Christmas everyone!
