Merry Christmas 2010

Christmas has been nice and relaxing so far this year. My sister in law and her family came down on the 23rd to stay with us for a few days, and it is very nice to have two extra little kids in the house at this time of year.

Christmas eve, Grace and her cousin Ines leave out a plate of snacks and drinks for Santa and the reindeer. How did they know that Santa's favorite kind of cookie is oatmeal raisin?


Santa did come after all! I guess the kids must've been pretty good. Let the pillaging begin!

Santa was good to us again this year, as he always is. I got a new Garmin Oregon 450T gps (more on that later), Amparo got a Kindle e-book reader and a Flip video camera. Julia got the thing she really wanted - a cell phone. Grace got toys toys and more toys.

Then only thing missing today was more family, but we will be seeing Mom, Chris, and Dave and his family over the next couple of days. Merry Christmas everyone!
