Christmas Morning

Once the kids were done, they were nice enough to stick around while Tara & I opened the gifts that we got for each other.

Gifts From The Love Birds
	Tara was really excited by the gifts in the big box...
	...which turned out to be her new mohawk hat.
	Tara found the next present in a much larger than needed box as well...
	...but she was glad to have found a new necklace inside.
	Tara's final gift was another necklace, this one in the famous Tiffany's blue box. Unfortunately the chain was too small, and it will be going back.
	Rodney got two new Coca-Cola bottles from Tara, which he found a new use for...
	...earrings!
	Rodney got another season of his favorite TV series, The Simpsons, this year too.
	Rod also got a new license plate frame for the truck - an Alumni frame for the University of Michigan...
	...and two window stickers, one for each vehicle.
	Tara also got Rod a new pair of shoes, for dress casual (which everyone knows is dressy for Rod!).
	Rodney reading a card that Tara gave him, which included a membership to the Detroit Model Railroad Club in it.

Grandpa Jerry & Grandma Gail stopped by to see the kids for a while on Christmas morning, bringing along donuts for breakfast and a small gift for each of them (the real Christmas party with them would be a day later).

What good are all of the presents if you can't play with them and have fun? Here are the kids enjoying their gifts...

Christmas Present Fun
	Samantha, Drew, and Jayden playing with Drew's new train and car sets, including both of the sets he opened today as well as the one he got from Grandpa Gary & Grandma Terry earlier.
	Drew was really happy playing with his new toys.
	Sam modeling her new toe socks, her glove things, and her new sweatshirt.
	Tyler waving as he plays his new wrestling game on his PSP.
	Tara eating her breakfast in front of the new curtains and cornice board (still unfinished, but getting closer).
	Another look at the cornice board that Grandpa Gary & Grandma Terry gave Rodney & Tara for Christmas this year.
	Drew showing off his new hockey equipment. He is only missing a couple of pieces now...
	Once Drew got one picture taken, he had to complete the set. Here is the side view...
	...followed by the rear view. (Their was a picture from the opposite side as well, but it looked pretty much like the other one, so...)
