Merry Christmas!

Hooray, Merry Christmas, everyone!  Today started with baking some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies to bring to my parents' house for dessert.  Julie came over later to make brownies, and we got a cake from my cousin so we definitely got desserts covered tonight.  Dad went to get Chinese food take out so that Mom wouldn't have to slave away in the kitchen.  After we ate dinner, it was time to open gifts.  It's sad that we wait all year for this day.   The tree looks so pretty with all the presents under it, and then in a few hours, it's all over and we have to wait another year for the build-up.  I guess if Christmas happened more often, the feeling wouldn't be that special, so it's better this way.  Here are some pictures from earlier tonight.
