Christmas Eve 2003

It was a much lower-key Christmas Eve this year, for reasons that I'm not entirely clear on. As usual, we had Margaret and Bridget over for dinner with the blood family; this time we had Mom's pizza before starting in on the gifts, plus Danny graced us with his presents. If there were noteworthy bits, they mostly involved Mom and Dad getting most of the gifts, and the double wrapping on the box of dog biscuits for Bridge...

Wrapping Stuff
I showed up at home early, to help wrap presents and to lend them my copy of A Christmas Story. It went over well. But this was the state of the living room...
Danny
Well, Danny and Stuff (that needs to be capitalized).
Sphinx Joel
Watching over us, with too much flash in the background.
Sphinx Joel, II
I really do like this shot. He looks properly regal.
Loot
This is the pile of gifts. Notice that I have the big scary thing over in the upper right corner.
Bridget Arrives
Doesn't she look like an excited dog?
Table Shark
This turned out well...well, less so for the greasy food.
Bridget Attacks!
Lots of shots of this to come.
Bridget Attacks!, II
This is her opening her box of dog biscuits, which is an annual thing, and always loads of fun.
Bridget Attacks!, III
I guess I did take a video of this; then I deleted it. Oops.
Bridget Attacks!, IV
Didn't Danny get some videos too?
Bridget Attacks!, V
Probably.
Bridget Attacks!, VI
Oh well, maybe he'll put his up some time.
Bridget Attacks!, VII
A video really has to be shown to do justice to Bridge's ferocity.
Bridget Attacks!, VIII
We're so proud of her.
Bridget Attacks!, IX
She made it through two layers of box
Bridget Attacks!, X
Success!
Santa Danny
Heh. Danny got stuck with it.
Jackets
For whatever reason, I mostly took pictures of Danny opening stuff.
Toad T-Shirt
Dad loves stuff like this.
Danny and Dog
He really liked the dog that Margaret got him.
5 Kilos Nacho Cheese
I got this from Ray, who got it from his Mom for reaosns unknown. Danny knows what he's doing with it, but I probably shouldn't put that up on here...
Box'o'Yams
Danny's so lucky!
Bubble Monkey
This was written in intentionally broken Engrish. Dad got it from Emily, apparently.
Bubble Monkey, II
"Where are you going, funny monkey?" [...] "Yes, you are so shiny. Clean underpants welcome you!"
Margaret's Gift
...which means, of course, that Bridget has to watch.
Dinners
Mom and Dad got Danny food! Yay!
Editorial Comments
Which family member is better at wrapping?
Editorial Comments, II
I love my family.
Margaret
All done, and we're all tired.
Bridget
...without bothering to focus.
Me and Bridget Fight
She liked her new tubular tennis ball. She liked fighting with me over it better.
