Which I will present to you in list format, complete with photos:
(Our living room, before opening gifts). This was like John’s third time celebrating Christmas ever, so he was very eager. He hardly let me take any photos and we had to rush through breakfast :-)
Everything I got in my stocking from John was candy! (Save for the McDonald’s gift card). Oh, my poor teeth…
I GOT A ZOOM LENS!!! Here I am, opening it. What a surprise – John knew I had been wanting one for some time, but I did not ask for it for Christmas. And yet, there it was. Thanks to Alan for helping him pick it out :-).
Right away, from across the room, it took some sexy shots! Behind John in this image is our big panel of sliding-door blinds— which are nowhere to be found.
We went to my parents’ house on Christmas day, and my sister and I made her horse Emmy some delicious cookies. Oatmeal, apples, carrots, and peanut butter. In the spirit of Christmas, we shared them with all the horses in the barn though. I tasted one. They were remarkably disgusting.
Greg had returned from France, and brought with him a French version of the game Scrabble. So, naturally, we played it in French. It was harder than I thought at first, but I was quite pleased with the results. The picture is terrible thanks to my laziness in not wanting to remove the zoom lens, but probably nobody can read these words anyhow.
All in all, I think it was quite wonderful.
