Merry Christmas!

After unwrapping the Christmas gifts, Brandon shows off his "Zombie Survival Guide" card set and a big smile for the camera.

I'm happy to report, we had a very merry Christmas Day!  We enjoyed our Christmas morning kuchen while we unwrapped the presents we got each other.  I must say, it makes Christmas all that more fun when you get each other Star Trek and Star Wars toys!  :)  We made a chicken-and-stuffing bake for lunch and watched Will Vinton's Claymation Christmas!  I sure do love the music and you can't beat the California Raisins' rendition of "Rudolph!"  So much fun!

Brandon played football with Dick on their xBoxes this afternoon.  I love that they can keep up with each other and game together, even while continents away!  :)  I listened to Star Wars: Christmas in the Stars CD (among other great songs, it answers the question, "What Do You Get A Wookie For Christmas?" when he already owns a comb?) while I made Aunt Deb's Potatoes for dinner (not as good as when she makes them, but I was so happy to have them!)

All in all, a very merry Christmas!
