Christmas Gifts and a Missing Spider

Merry Christmas!


I'm pretty excited that I received a new and improved camera.  Huzzah for improved photo quality, and no more random fuzzy spots that I have to Photoshop out (sometimes I just didn't bother if it wasn't obvious--sorry, posterity)! 


Joy is excited about receiving a prehistoric creature aquarium, and (look closely) a tiny Minecraft spider which her loving mother found on ebay to replace one Joy lost a few months ago.  She's already lost the new one three times today.  This doesn't bode well.


Todd got a sweet set of wheels and a clock.


The girls got some cozy slippers (and Daniel's rocking some festive socks he received in his class's holiday sock exchange).


No geeky household is complete without a stormtrooper candy dish.


After church, we had a (super-competitive, as in there may have been some crying and screaming involved) family treasure hunt.  The treasure at the end was a big package of suction cup Nerf darts to use with our  PVC blow guns.  The kids had a blast with them this afternoon.  Now I just need to figure out how to adapt the treasure hunt rules next year so there's more fun and less outrage that the oldest child can outrun everyone else to the next clue.


We wish you a creepy Christmas, and a happy new year!
