Christmas in Pictures

I didn't really take a lot of pictures this year. Here are the ones I did take.


Our gifts:

These are mostly Cody's presents. Yes, he did get an electric razor. He used it, too. He came into the kitchen and asked, "Notice something different about my face?" I replied, "You shaved! Awww, and I wanted to take videos!" Sneaky little devil.

These are mostly mine. Notice the lineup of jerseys across the back of the couch. Notice also that Cody got the good ones from NFL.com. Mom got the cheap knockoffs from Wal-mart. Isn't that usually how it goes? (I just noticed--the Peyton Manning jersey is not in the picture. He was already wearing it.) But Mom did get this:

and this
and this
I think that was a fair tradeoff, don't you?

We went over to B and J's for Christmas dinner. On the menu was

Turkey, ham, sweet potatoes, broccoli casserole, corn casserole, dressing, strawberry banana jello, broccoli salad and cranberry sauce. For dessert (which I did not get a picture of) there was pumpkin pie, cream cheese pie, and buttermilk pie.

Mmmmm, doesn't it look good?

Afterwards, I came home and put on my Man of Steel jersey --uh, that would be Jason Witten--


watched Cody's new movie, Hancock, and knit a while. Later that evening, my sister in Alaska called me. She just loved the shawl I'd made for her. She said she couldn't wait to go to church Sunday so she could wear it.

Funny enough, I didn't realize until now that I didn't get a single knitting related gift. I guess Santa thought I had enough yarn. However, I did get some money, so a trip to the yarn store just might be in order.

That was our Christmas. I wish we could have had more family here, because that always makes holidays better. Still, it was a good Christmas, and I was sorry to see the sun set. I hope yours was just as good, and remember, as my old auntie once said,

"You can Merry Christmas all the way up until New Year's".
