Suz&Trav: 'Tis the night after Christmas

And here's a recap...

Christmas eve, we met up with friends Grayson and Melissa for dinner and came home for a couple of hours of Spades.

We slept in Christmas morning and awoke to the first beautiful, warm day in three weeks. I even took the blankets off the horses. We opened our gifts (iPods for each of us...and a super-awesome point-and-shoot camera so I don't have to haul the Rebel around anymore) and enjoyed the afternoon.

Ugly Christmas sweaters, move over. Next big fad...ugly Christmas beanies!

Trevor, Aaron and Harmony arrived around 4ish and we let Trevor open his presents: a remote control helicopter and mini foosball (which was mostly played by Aaron and Travis who took the time to build the thing).

I don't remember much of Christmas night because I was nose-deep in my iPod playing "Words with Friends"...but Travis and Aaron were watching Flight of the Concords.

With a day of shooting planned for today, the day after Christmas, we asked Hans to make a Wal-mart run to get clay pigeons and shotgun shells. On. the. biggest. return. day. of. the. year. But Hans sent a text at 6:30 this morning saying he picked up the last two boxes of shells and the last box of clays. He trouped through IDIOT drivers on the mountain and we were off to shoot.

GOODTIMES!

We came home starving and filled our bellies with La Paws - YUM! - Samantha's patience had finally worn thin and could no longer wait to open her gifts. Despite telling the mall Santa that she wanted "mud" and "orange" for Christmas, she had told her dad she wanted Princesses. She loves them all, especially Rapunzel and Belle.

Samantha's horse bit Trevor! Bad Pony!

Travis and Harmony tried to revive the curse of the Christmas puzzle but gave up shortly after the border was complete. I don't have the patience for puzzles, so it was prematurely dismantled.
