Christmas 2007

Despite us being far away from our family and friends we had a great Christmas and don't want our holiday (aka rest and relaxation) to end. We are so greatful for our family members for sending us fantastic gifts. We opened presents this morning, made breakfast, Dan took a christmas nap (of course), we fiddled with our presents, called family, fiddled with our gifts some more, enjoyed our free time together and made a yummy ham dinner, followed by Harry Potter. It was great! We only wish we were closer to our families...especially so we could have played with our new niece and nephew!!!

Here are some pictures of the day:

Clearly we are enthralled with our gifts...and sleepy

Talking with our families - we miss you!!!

Carlie cooking fudge and Dan baking his bread

***We must insert here that we were able to take all these pictures of the two of us and not just one of us at a time because we received the coolest gift ever. See below:

We spent most of the afternoon playing with this little guy. It is a super flexible camera stand that can pretty much attach to ANYTHING....it's amazing! So we placed it in all sorts of crazy places and had lots of fun.

Here is our post-christmas, destroyed apartment. The camera was attached to our celing light.

Dan enjoying his Christmas chocolate - he's a chocoholic

Dan's amazing rolls. Aren't they good looking? He baked them on his new pizza stone

We like making a fancy dinner, even if it's just the two of us.

Dan has his goatee back!!! He had a few days off from the CG...

The rolls turned out fantastic!

There is still 1 minute of Christmas left here, so MERRY CHRISTMAS and We hope everyone has a great end to the year and a fantastic New Years!
