December 24th

While Tara took her turn getting ready today, I took the kids up to the pool for a quick swim.

To celebrate Christmas Eve, we had a small gathering of family and friends for appetizers at Great-Grandma Parrott's house. It was at this time that the kids decided that we should exchange the gifts that the kids bought for everyone, as well as the gifts that Great-Grandma and Steven bought for everyone.

	Tyler was thoughtful enough to buy us this movie with his own money this year. Not so sure there wasn't something implied with the title though... guess he couldn't find "Our Idiot Parents" anywhere!

	Rodney opening up a tiny puzzle (with lots of pieces) that Drew bought for him at the school Christmas shop.
