Christmas 2005

Here are the stockings at my parents house. There's the Tiny One for Emma. She's not born yet.

Here is the tree, and the stoclings... and a fireplace. We're adorable.

Here's my Mom and Kristin.

This is the bane of Kristin's existence. My dad hides this thing throughout the house just to scare Kristin... it works.

Here's Rachel, Me, and Kristin. We're opening stockings

Here we are again, plus Mom!

And Amy!

And now on to the gifts.

Amy is breaking the 4th Wall!

I got Tangoes! Turns out I like the game... and Rachel doesn't... cause I'm so very good at it.

Darth Tater!

Kristing is excited about this

And now she has a new hat.

And now it is Amy's turn.

Now my Mom gets some.

It's a poster of Cleveland. Mom is collecting skylines of places we've lived.

And we take a quick break for drinks... drinks in cute little glasses.

Rachel likes dogs.

Kristin got earrings

Trivial Pursuit Pop Culture

Hey! Traditional Pose in front of trees.

And again.

Okay, now you'll recall that the thing with Presents at my family is that each name tag is part of a code that indicates who it is for. I've started collecting the name tags, and putting them in columns according to who it is for... this year's code is hard.

As you can see, everyone has made a rather nice haul this year. The code was eventually "figured out"... but now I don't remember what it was.

Look at me, I'm very surprised.

And now we're all looking pretty.
