Merry Christmas!

Christmas Day Highlights:

- For the first time ever, I was not the first one out of bed on Christmas morning which evidently means, more sleep for me!
- Pitching a tent (in a completely G rated sense) in the middle of the living room then crawling into it and having a nap.
- Taking a registered IQ Test (I suppose my nerdy side doesn't subside even on holidays) given to me by family. Most would consider this work or unwanted thinking, but I quite enjoyed it.

Note: I scored 140. At first the number meant nothing to me, afterall on the overall scoring system, I am not sure were that ranked comparitive with the rest of the population. After doing some reading I found that 2.2% of the population score above 130--I guess I now have an excuse for being a nerd.

- Organizing my camping gear (yes, believe it or not--there are some things I like to organize!).
- Creating a game with my nephew which is practically impossible to describe without you physically witnessing it. Let's just say it involved running, jumping, using the countertops as leverage as you hoist yourself up and swing your feet up to try and land a back flip.
- Bonding time with my brother David.
- Finding that the best way to get my nephew to smile in a picture is to either a) tickle him or b) say 'silly' words that make him blush and giggle. I stuck with the tickling while ironically my half sister resorted to option b.
- Hiding my dads video camera with my brothers as an attempt to prevent him from taping our every move throughout the whole day.
- Being surrounded by family while celebrating simply the greatest thing that has ever happened to us--our Lord and Savior.

Here are some pictures--enjoy!
