And now, for your Christmas entertainment, some photos from gift opening:

THE raincoat

Alright.  I had the package in hand, my grandmother prefaced the opening with “You’ll either love this or you’ll hate this.”  I guess when my first reaction after seeing it was, “What the fu–??!” it was a no go.  But at least it provided us quite a few laughs.  It’s the thought that counts, right?  And I have the gift receipt to pick out a raincoat I can wear overseas that wouldn’t look like a walking acid trip.

Christmas morning

Yep.  That’s my general expression even in the face of Santa.  But I LOVE that scarf.  Notice my new socks (thanks, T-Bone.)  That’s my uncle to the right, Big Ben on the left.  How FREAKIN excited are you that I have a camera now– you’re gonna be sucked into my day-to-day hehe.

Pensive

Scared! Lost! Help!

The cutest of all

Okay, sorry.  This was hopefully a one time thing.  Completely narcissistic, I realize.  100% self-serving.   IT’S TIME FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER.
