A Very Merry Christmas

Christmas this year was wonderful! It started in November when we went to go see Richard's family for Thanksgiving and continued right to Christmas Day with my family.
Of course Emily made it out like a bandit with tons of gifts. Getting everything from books, letter blocks, movies, and a shopping cart, to a very nice keyboard and portable DVD player (an absolute necessity for trips to San Antonio). Her stocking was stuffed from Santa with fancy jewelry, trinkets, books, and a Word World movie; and Richard and I hooked the Princess up with a pot and pan set as well as her very own castle (pictures to come once I finish painting it).

This year it was my turn to get pampered. So one of the things I found under the Christmas tree was a very nice camera to replace my broken one (yay for the end of the horrible cell phone pictures), as well as a very stuffed stocking from Santa filled with gummy bears and chocolate. Yummy!

Richard received lots of good stuff, including a stocking filled with chips and candy from Santa, and from us girls he received the one movie he has wanted for a long time - Star Trek.
