Christmas 2008

Well, Christmas was here and now gone. It was a nice time (and I actually didn't have to go to work). Deb's parents and sister arrived on Christmas Eve and we all had a good time. They were especially happy to see Peter once again, and his antics kept them laughing.
Santa made his visit and Peter was very happy. Santa delivered nearly everything that was on his list. Of course his list grew as every toy commercial aired on TV, but he understood at some point Santa and the elves stop building and start wrapping the presents to get ready to put on the sleigh. ;-) He got his Bionicles and Legos and Wall*e and Eve figures. The Lego was interesting. It was a Star Wars ship with 800+ pieces. Too much for Peter and it took deb only 7 hours to finish!! Mr. Tom and Miss Phillis (as Peter calls our calif. friends) also sent Peter an R/C Tarantula and he spent quite a while running it around the floor trying to scare everyone. My sis Law and Bob, and Pops also sent very nice gifts. Thank you all!

I find it a little sad that we go thru months of a buildup - and *poof* in 24 hours it's all over.
