Christmas 2012

As usual, this Christmas was a time of getting together and celebrating. There were several parties with family and friends, and hundreds of pictures. I’ve tried to select the best of them to share here.

The first party was on December 23rd. We were practicing for the flaming shots. Too bad I wasn’t quite breathing fire like a dragon yet. Following tradition, Mom’s family got together on Christmas eve. My big present of the night was a ripstick. I rode it a little bit even though there was some slush on the driveway.

We started Christmas day with a super sweet breakfast. Mom made new stockings for everybody. My first and biggest present was new motorcycle tires. Tire irons and other tire-related accessories were in my stocking. Mom really likes her new food processor. And dad likes his jingle bell boxers and matching elf hat.

Playing with a puzzle I got Maggie got me a Maxwell’s equations clock :) And I followed the nerdy Christmas precedent by getting her a glass Klein bottle. Later, Tyler and Beth came over and we got them a big box of Mexican pizzas.

Tyler showed off his remote control helicopter while I tried to shoot it with nerf darts. Maggie and I got tickets to a Trans Siberian Orchestra concert, and the freeway was crazy getting there. But the show was awesome! Playing with my new tire irons.
