Christmas 2009: Christmas Morning

Alright, now that it's fair to say that Christmas 2009 is finally, completely, officially, over, let's look back on it, shall we?

Nathan gave me the greatest gift: A brand-new camera! I love it as much as I HATED my old camera, and that was more than words can ever express. Even for me. And the proof is in the great photos that I was able to get this holiday... so many it's taken me a while to get around to posting them. So I'll just do it bit by bit, starting with right after I got the camera - Christmas morning.
Christmas is so much more fun with kids, I have to say. Just seeing them get so excited about all these little things and about the surprises that Santa leaves is the best gift of all.

Ben started "going fishing" with his new game right away.

Marley's first Barbie! Whose hair is already irrevocably tangled...  ;-)

Brody had to don his new dragon suit right away.

Beyond cool in his new Superman suit and Spiderman sunglasses.

Check out these muscles!
