Merry Christmas to all…

We got up this morning around 9:00.  We had coffee and a little breakfast… and then it was time for present-opening! The Christmas haul was very good:

  • New suit
  • A couple new shirts and ties
  • An engraved bracelet… which matches one that Mom got for Kristen
  • LEGO salt and pepper shakers
  • A LEGO note pad
  • A new pair of shoes
  • A couple new sweaters
  • A Krispy Kreme gift certificate
  • A classic train calendar and
  • SaraRules got me this:


    (actual TV is back in SLC, as it would have been silly to ship here… and back)

I opened the box with the picture in it and stared at it for a moment or two before it registered that it was a symbolic present. Apparently, the look on my face was… rather quizzical.

…and to all a good night!
