You'll Shoot Your Eye Out!

After a late eve, Christmas Day came early. At 7 am sharp (the designated time) the boys were up for stockings and presents.


From the looks of things, Santa found our home OK. You may notice that our tree only has lights and decorations from about four feet and up. This is because Clover was playing with (and breaking) the balls, and chewing up the light strands plug ends!


Well, no one got a lump of coal - not even Clobberhead! She actually did not have a stocking, but Santa still brought her two new chew-babies!



Although the boys were thrilled with their new tie assortment (Keri's e-bay finds) and other clothing items for church or school,



They were most excited about their various video, computer or music games,



and gadgets!



And who knew, that modern hang gliding actually evolved from (a) parapanties?! (Thanks Cody & Greg!)



Clover went wild attempting to de-leg her new octopus...



Then she entertained everyone with her Princess Leia imitation!



She finally ran out of gas and developed some very heavy eyelids.

We spent the rest of the day napping, relaxing, eating leftovers, playing in the snow, helping neighbors shovel snow, playing Guitar Hero III, searching for "AAA" batteries, and attempting to figure out new electronic device software for ripping, zipping, burning, or whatever else you do with it! (I'd almost rather be putting a new bike together at 1 AM!)

It was an enjoyable day, ending up with a very nice Christmas dinner of our own.
