Christmas 2006

Time for a glimpse of the this year's gift haul. Not everyone is pictured, since not all of my photos turned out. (must reread the manual)

Trevor admires his John Deer tractor that opens into a book, while Nolan examines the specs of his Hotwheels car.
 

Melinda, agog at a box of miscellaneous craft items.
 

Thanks to Ardith, Jason has now been introduced to the wonders of author Terry Pratchett.
 

Are all these Bach CD's for me ? (yes, Derek, they are)
  

For the software engineer who has everything....
 ...a miniature abacus.

No college student should be without the Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide.
 

Ethan remains quietly composed upon opening the excavator he'd hinted at months ago but since forgotten.
 

The last five books of the Adventure of the Northwoods series will keep Carolyn busy...
  ....for a day or two, anyway.

Trevor and Nolan demonstrate Ardith's gift to the three youngest....
  ....the "Spy Light Hand."

These were a big hit :-D though, the cardboard packages mysteriously disappeared from the trash bag. Personally, I think they were programmed to self-destruct.

Later that day, we watched The Incredibles. The kids laughed uproariously and the quality looked good, despite the possibility of its being a pirated copy.

It has been suggested that Ma refrain from buying DVD's out of East Timor, in the future. (hey....I didn't know. I am just a simple Ma)
