Christmas 2007
Toyland at our house.

It's been a great, long day. I hope you had a good one, too.

(The brother and husband depicted above asked me to photograph them and twice gave permission to blog this photo.)

Later: A commenter suggested the punch was to blame. No punch was involved -- we were all a bit giddy from our gift exchange. Over the years it has grown into family theater -- no Lexuses in the driveway here, just lots of promising packages to unwrap: Small, funny gifts, often cat-related, balance the books, household items, small electronics and clothing upgrades Santa brings. Stress-free family fun is the goal. It helps that we like each other.
