We went to Tom's dad's tonight (per tradition) for Christmas. I'd love to post some pictures, because there were many moments worth sharing... But, *sigh* my last set of batteries died three pictures in. I have rechargables, which I suppose I will charge again, but they're old and not holding power long at all. I guess I'll stop by QT on the way into town tomorrow. I think I should own stock in some AA battery company.

Tom's dad and step mom loved their present (I was going to link that to a picture of the outdoor fireplace that Tom and his sisters purchased together - but it would seem it is now out of stock). In fact, they were just talking about getting one about a week and a half ago! Amazing. We had no idea...

Tomorrow, my folks and sister will stop by late morning. Then, we to go to Tom's mom's family function in the afternoon. I think the rest of the evening is clear.

Tom and I have also decided to send out New Years cards. I think they'll be great. They probably won't be recieved until a week into January, though. :D

Our friends went to the Virgin Islands for Christmas. There's a web cam that we're supposed to check out around noon tomorrow so they can wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Its pretty cool. When they first arrived there, they called us and told us to look at the camera online. There they were - on the phone, talking to us, in the Virgin Islands.
