Christmas in Virginia

For those who were wondering - FTASB is short for "faster than a speeding blog".  After leaving my dad alone and cold in New Mexico, we jumped on a plane and ended up in Virginia for Christmas.  The festivities began with Christmas Eve.  We reenacted the Nativity in a live action version.  M was Mary and I, JC, was the sheep.  Look at those faces!

Then it was off to make cookies for Santa Claus.  M and I ended up making sugar cookie "Gingerbread" men.  I'm pretty sure that Santa would have noticed the conundrum if he hadn't been making such a large delivery.  With my cousins, it made 12 good little boys and girls!

After a restful three hours of sleep, it was time to head downstairs and discover how much Santa loves us...

 Evan's to Betsy's!  "Santa loves us a lot," I thought while clasping my hands in anticipation.

Present opening commenced.  I took it seriously, and by the end I was straining to overcome the tape!

And in a new tradition, Christmas afternoon is spent playing Guitar Hero.  Does anyone else obtain more star-power than they could ever need?

Whoops!  Don't bother the rock star while she's playing Crazy Train!

Merry Christmas everyone!
