Christmas Day at my Sister's house

As you can see, Katie is pretty comfortable here. She wasn't much help with the gift-wrapping, though. She snores to boot.

My sister's tree was surrounded by gifts, and the entire family didn't even show up!

My cousin, Amie, (or is it Aimie?), her husband, Peter, and my Aunt Kathy. I haven't seen her in over 10 years. I'm glad she and her family came out for Christmas.

This is my brother Morgan. That's Big "M". Little "organ". *grin* he looks pretty intense. He must be trying too hard to be as cool as me.

My niece loved the leather "purse" I got her. It's called a "haversack", but to me, it's just a purse. Anyway, now she's got a place for her gift cards, so she doesn't lose them.

My other niece is wondering how to get those shiny new coins out of the wrapper, so she can buy some bubble-gum. I got her a US Mint set.

Mom just opened her gift. I got each of the women a different tea-candle-lit lantern modeled after a different type of English architecture. I really liked them, and they seemed to be well made.

We all chipped in to get Dad a snow-blower. Looks like a blizzard there, don't it?

My sister got me a Jelly Belly jellybean dispenser, and a couple pounds of jellybeans. I've got it right next to me, while I write this post. I'm gonna get fat on jellybeans, I can tell. Oh, and I'm eating cookies that my Mom made for me. I can feel the sugar high coming like a tidal wave....
