Christmas morning was pretty amazing. Rhonda and I got up at 4:20 AM to setup things for the kids, and to eat the cookies that Santa left behind! We had bean-bag chairs, shaped like a bear and an elephant, to fill with Styrofoam. There are those little beans all over the floor downstairs now! Sarah's big hit present was a Go Go my Walking Pup, she also got a Leapster (and a couple of cartridges) which she's enjoying. Chloe got a a Fisher-Price Little People® Noah’s Ark and two sets of animals to go with it. There were many other toys and clothes for both girls to list here!

Rhonda and I had decided early on not to really get ourselves anything much because we'd been rather good to ourselves in the last few months with a couple of clies and new furnature. I never listen... I got Rhonda a Panasonic DMR-30 DVD video recorder. I know - sounds like a gift for me, but she's actually the one that does all the recording. I'm happy with the Tivo!

My favorite present would have to be the monogrammed handkerchiefs that Rhonda's Mom made for me! Too bad I don't like them enough not too use them! Ewww! It suprised me that we too so few pictures this year. I'll have some up on Chiahead later on today.

Merry Christmas!
