christmas morning dawned bright and early (orrrrr at 9:30 when mom finally came in to wake us up) and while megan and peter complained about the lack of coffee we herded into the living room to see the spoils. this year santa favored mom and dad, since they had to open 3 presents for every one of ours. my mom kept saying, "oh my goodness, how did this happen?" ha! like she didn't know...
christmas dinner: prime rib roast, baked yams, roast vegetables, garlic mashed potatoes, spinach salad...my brother is pretty much an expert chef. he can do things with spices that i didn't even know existed. it was fantastic. and then we watched planet earth. which is also fantastic and strangely addictive. all in all, it was a great day.
the next day, we journeyed to the desert to try out the boys' new christmas presents. gavin got a beebee (?) gun, although he calls it his "baby gun." jeremy tried to teach him how to shoot it.
jeremy: "ok gav, do you know how to hold your gun?"
gavin: "yeah!" (and proceeds to put the butt of his gun right on his nose. i see great things for his future as a gunman...)
i shot a pistol, a 40, and a 22. and i got 7 bulls eyes. because i am awesome.
this is what american families are all about.

Amy, so this last shot of you is quite possibly one of the finest family photos I've seen. Pretty cool. Looks like a lot of fun. Glad to hear everyone had a merry Christmas! love you all!
