Merry Christmas!

 Christmas Day finally arrived.  It seemed like we'd been waiting literally for months.  In the event, Grace and I woke up at a reasonable hour to open our presents.  

 We acted like humans and civilly unwrapped our gifts, giving each one its due.

 Well, I may have attacked a few of mine like a lion with an appetite. 

 It's the year of the truck, of course. 

 Grace did her best to avoid the camera; she hates it so.

And I did my best to get some wear out of all of my new trucks. We hope your day went as well as ours.

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

 SANTA IS COMING!
This is my favorite time of year -- besides Halloween, of course. I've been preparing for months.

This shot was from a couple of weeks ago. I picked this little piece of greenery out myself, and I was pretty confident it was going to be our best tree yet. (SPOILER ALERT: IT IS.)

Ben doesn't seem to realize this is a family show. Put it away, guy.

Now let's rock!

Around the Christmas tree!

Sing it if you know it!

(BEN: Hee-hee-hee! Just a peek!)

Who is that angel in red? Santa, you're going to want to take notes.

This is an "I've been good" face. Super-duper, amazingly good. Really.

Who are we kidding? We are wild! We cannot be contained! We can't even keep our shirts on!

Peace!
