I have to say this was my favorite present this year. Not because it’s a Lego Santa Yoda (because that’s cool enough alone). But because Sam gave this to me from his heart. He got this on one of his advent days, but remembered how cool I thought it was. So he decided to give it to me instead for Christmas. Gifts from the heart will just about trump anything. Thanks Sam!

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

The new way to keep kids occupied while they wait for Christmas… Angry Birds.

Lens cap holder. One of the small things I didn’t think was a big deal until I started to do more and more photography.

Lens for your iPhone. Seems kind of weird when I have a nice camera, but there are times when I only have my iPhone with me. The best camera is sometimes the one you have with you.

NCIS. Ask Holly about this sometime and she’ll give you a quick answer about whether or not she’s seen an episode or two with me.  Looking for Season 7, 8, or 9.

12 QT mixing bowl… just to mix stuffing.  Ok, Holly could use it too.  But she’ll have to ask really, really nice.

So this year’s card can be considered to be Sam’s Christmas card.

She put in the effort to put together another wonderful Christmas for all us. Thank you for having the patience to put up with the boys (sometimes all 3 of them) when you were doing your baking. Thank you for making sure the rest of us were enjoying ourselves, even when you were the one who needed a rest. And thank you for the planning and preparations you did to make this all seem so easy.

Holly, as we wind down this holiday season, please remember this one last thing… it’s someone else’s turn next year.

Love, all your family.
