Christmas 2007

Argh, ahoy there me hearties, and a Merry Christmas to you!


Christmas began in this household around 7:30 a.m., when Sam woke up.

This "pirate ship" was Sam's main present. It is basically the bow of a ship, Sammy-sized, complete with cannon launchers and sound effects.


Anna's main present, a Russian tortoise, which she named "Skipper". Skipper is enjoying a strawberry slice here.


It took a while for Sam to get used to the eye patch, he didn't want either eye covered.


Rob, Mari, my parents and Yumi came over for Christmas lunch. The menu included my holiday favorite Honeybaked Ham.


Anna set the table, she also made place cards.


Oh, and who could forget the fruit tart from Whole Foods...


We are enjoying our vittles here...


Yumi is organizing the many presents she brought over.


And saying goodbye to Rob and Mari after a fun day.

May you be richly blessed this Christmastime and holiday season!

Note: Thank you so much for all the presents! Sam has yet to open all of his. No need for any extra birthday presents!
