Opening Presents

Christmas morning we awoke around 7:30 am and enjoyed sharing gifts with one another. I distributed the gifts and picked up trash/cardboard, John photographed, Whitley ran the video cam and this is of our guests, my Mom & marv, opening their gifts. Why even Goosebumps (our dog) is in the picture!
Marvin was thrilled with his gifts: a new toolbox, pj bottoms and box that made him guess for a later surprise.......skydiving!!!!

My mom was all smiles. Her favorite gift was a necklace Marvin had designed that had each of the grandkids' birthstone on it and a ticket to see the Nutcracker Ballet the following day. I received many nice gifts, as did John & Whitley, but it is especially a gift to spend our Christmas with our family as this was my Mom & Marvin's first Christmas with us!
We enjoyed time with our foster daughter and her family, luch at the Cheesecake Factory and a beautiful candlelight service at church.
