And so this is Christmas ’08, Part III

Christmas at last! Days of swimming, playing games on Grampa Ray’s laptop, playing games on Uncle D’s iPhone, running around the house while being timed and taking “short cuts” through The Villages have culminated in a spectacular morning of joy!

“OH. MAH. GAHD. I CAN’T SEE THE FLOOR.” See this image larger.

Here Ian glares at the camera, wondering if this photoshoot is in any way delaying the opening of the gifts. See this image larger.

Ian gets a nice book, and the call of the “blankie” is almost too strong… “Don’t fall asleep! GAKEUP! Must… open… presents…” See this image larger.

Here Ian shows off his practiced unwrapping technique. He just needs you to start a corner and he’ll take care of the rest! See this image larger.

Kids say a lot of things when they receive the present of their deepest desires, but “I was good enough!!!” has got to be the clincher for best line ever! Congrats Connor on receiving a Wii! See this image larger.

Ian swipes one of Connor’s presents and wears it as a hat. Can’t help it when he sees a circle! See this image larger.

Connor be sure and tell your parents that it was Uncle D who told you how to do the Heisman pose. I’m only a part-time nerd. 😉 See this image larger.

Ian stole that present too for a bit, sorry Connor! See this image larger.

This crazy fold-out city had a lot of fun interactive activities on it, and Ian was mesmerized for quite a while. See this image larger.

Trying to carry four cars at once ain’t easy, but he pulled it off with a little help loading up. See this image larger.

If it looks at all like somebody told these two they’ve got to ship all this stuff home shortly in boxes, that wouldn’t be much of a stretch, lol 😉 See this image larger.

Just a few pics in Part IV, I want to make sure I don’t overload anybody’s computer with too many pics! O_o;;
