Christmas is the time for getting stuck at the airport

Well, Grandma Bowman was supposed to come in the evening of Tuesday, December 23. But, as you may have guessed by the above title, she got stuck at the airport. We were told that it looked like she wouldn't be able to fly into TN til Christmas Day, but we got lucky and she came in on Christmas Eve.

It was nice getting to meet and know her. Christmas itself was just interesting and fun. While we opened presents I had a slideshow going of many pictures of all of the family that I have collected while Christmas music I downloaded played in the background (this was made possible thanks to Aaron and his AV/iPod connection he gave me as an early Christmas present). We all had fun opening some wonderful presents. Well, except for Aaron. Sadly he opened a present from Mom and Dad and it was a CrockPot, which I have been saying that I wanted for a while now. Well.......

This is the nice CrockPot Mom and Dad gave us that Aaron opened.

This is me opening Aarons' gift to me.

This is me not able to keep a straight face seeing I got 2 CrockPots for Christmas.

This is Spencer opening his gift from Aaron that I (and Aaron) packaged and decorated.

I came up with the idea of making his gift look like an old fashioned TV set. More work went into it than you may think.

We liked it so much he tried to save the wrapping...lol.

Inside was a bag of Tootsie Rolls and a Slim Jim container.

A pair of backetball shorts was in the Tootsie Roll bag and the Tootsie Rolls and some Toblerones were in the Slim Jim container...lol...also something I came up with on the spur of the moment...lol.

Here is Aaron opening the Iron Gym Total Upper Body Work-Out Bar that I bought him. And to go with it.......

a 5 lb bag of Gummi Bears....lol.

Aaron did, however, do a GREAT job on picking out presents for me....

I got LOTS of great new scrapbooking stuff.

This is me "surprised" Aaron caught all of the hints I had been dropping....lol.
