And So This Is Christmas...

Samantha spent the night on Christmas Eve with Travis, so she could open gifts with his family. This left Mike, Bill and me to spend the evening just the three of us. First, we had a rousing game of Clue (Bill won), then we ate some turkey and dressing and all the fixings. Then we opened one gift each. As it turned out, mine was a super-gift! Thanks Bill! Bill opened his leather log book cover gift card and mug from Kathryn but the pictures weren't good and in keeping with my no-bad-pix-if-I-can-help-it policy, I didn't put them up. But thanks Kathryn!!



Mike wanted some plays. Some plays he got!


Next morning it was on!! Here I have opened my 2 (yes, count em - 2!) Amazon.com gift cards from Kathryn. Yay! More and more reading! Thanks Kathryn!!!
 
AND! Also, she gave me rooster napkin rings... Hmmm... I wonder how they're going to look with my new dishes!
 
Bill got a new iPod, which he seemed to absolutely love.

 
Mike got some hats.
 
Here's Chelsea, Mike, and Sam opening presents.
 
Sam wanted some riding boots. Here they are.

 
They gave each other smelly stuff. Mike got Jake from Hollister. Sam got Ralph, by Ralph Lauren. (I got some Lauren by Ralph Lauren, too, by the way...)
 
Mike got a "Things White People Like" calendar. Here are the three of them laughing about it.

 

Bonnaroo ticket!!! Mike loves bonnarroo...
 

Bill gave me a beautiful pair of blue diamond earrings to match the ring he gave me last year. Thanks, Baby!
 
It was the year of the scarf. Sam and I each got several. Here she is wearing one of them.

 

Here are my new dishes modeling my new napkin rings. Love it!
 

That night, Dave and Rene and Brooke came over. Here are the kids. Great Christmas. Thanks everybody!
