Christmas 2005

What a day! We started with the annual ritual of opening presents. Thing1 and 2 have always been a little on the 'spoiled' side when it came to Christmas. The wife and I put aside a bit of money each month so that no debt is incurred at this time of the year when the 'spoilage' occurrs. This year we had a bit of fun with the kids.

We had been teasing the kids that, just like Jesus, they were going to get three gifts and we would pick three off their lists for them to get. On Christmas morning they each had three presents to open. The look of shock on their faces was priceless. Once they opened the first one and found the smaller packages inside the shock wore off. It was such fun!

Family started showing up around noon. Soon we had 19 people in our little house. A bit crowded but a good time was had by all. Good food, excellent company, and a Bears win, made for a wonderful day. A day to remember a birth that changed the world.
