They were planning on opening gifts around 9 am so Andy and I decided to open gifts on Christmas Eve. Here are the items that we got.... Andy had gotten me a settler's expansion game (Traders and Barbarians) and my Mom got me a pair of nice slippers. :) I also received a very nice scarf from my sister Julia. I got Andy a book and also a nice pair of slippers and Dorothy got him an ergonomic mouse...that way his wrist won't hurt anymore. He really likes the mouse but it will definitely take time to get use to it. He also got a new camera bag (Lowpro Slingshot) and another controller for our PS3. We were pretty excited to finally be able to put our camera in a protective case. :) Anyway, for baby Sio, I had gotten a gift from my friend Melissa when we were in Provo and decided to put it under the Christmas tree. It was a little book with a finger puppet that went along with it. It was soo cute! I can't wait to be able to use it.
Anyway, Christmas morning we headed over to the McCammons. It was fun to watch their kids open the gifts. They were especially excited for the little indoor trampoline. They each took turns jumping in it. We then spent time playing with their new toys with them and then I helped Jen begin to prepare the Christmas Dinner...we ate around 2 o'clock...after Ryan's parents arrived...and then they opened the remaining gifts. One of the big items they got was a WII so we watched them do some boxing. It's always fun to see people boxing...it makes me laugh every time.
We then headed home. I got to speak to my family a little bit and Tim decided to turn on his web cam so we could see what was going on. It was fun to see my family open gifts (even if it was just the last 2 gifts.) Then, Andy decided he wanted to go watch a movie...so we decided to watch Avatar in 3D. I didn't think I would like it but it was actually really good. I really enjoyed the 3D effects...it was worth it...at least compared to watching UP in 3D.
Afterwards, we came home and got ready for bed. Christmas was nice and relaxing and I feel lucky to have such good friends...especially when family isn't near by. Anyway, here are a few pics of our holiday. :)
Our Christmas Tree....yes, a cheap one from Wal-Mart. But at least it works. :)

that sounds like you had a fun day. christmas is so much fun, but it's still weird to not have all the family around. we saw avatar last weekend (minus the 3D) and we liked it a lot too.
