Merry Christmas!! Hope it was a healthy, happy, joy-filled day with your families as well. It was a very merry one here, for sure. We were up at 6:30 (though I would have been happy to get another hour's sleep).

All of the gift opening pics are on my Powershot camera. This was the first taken on my new Canon 60D!! My husband really surprised me! I've so much to learn now, but I'm excited to do so.

Here Hannah is texting a friend. Her "big gift" this year was a red KitchenAide stand mixer--not your typical 12 yr. old Christmas list item, but it was at the top of Hannah's. I still use a hand mixer, but she's the family baker! My parents got her diamond earrings for her newly-double-pierced ears.

Hope to catch up with journals soon.
