Jerry & Gail

Normally we would gather with Jerry & Gail and other family members to celebrate Christmas together, but this year was a little different as they are enjoying the warmth of the Arizona sun early this year. That left us with presents shipped to us, which the kids were extremely anxious to open. After stalling for a few days, the kids finally broke our will and convinced us to let them open the presents. This worked out best anyway, as we really didn't want to haul them to Florida with us when we leave for vacation in a couple weeks.

Everyone enjoyed their presents, and want to send a big THANK YOU to Jerry & Gail for the wonderful gifts, and the thought that went into selecting them for us!

	Tyler and Samantha opening their cards.
	Sam was quite pleased to find money inside!
	As was Tyler!
	Jay wasn't sure what to think of her next gift box...
	...but was happy to find a coloring book and Barbie dolls inside.

	Tara also opened up some new bath rugs.
	Tara was excited about these gifts (though I'll never understand why!).
	Tara also got a card with money inside.
	Rodney had to hand over the camera to open his own presents.
	Rod showing off his card after taking some grief from the kids.
	Tyler taking a little "selfie" of his hand reaching for a tin of cookies...
	...then grabbing a handful...
	...before deciding he could just eat the whole thing!
