Not so white Christmas

I suppose that most people (including me), would be surprised if there was snow here. So with the obvious out of the way...

The kids all (including the girls house) wrote names and ideas for gifts on 3x5 cards and drew names for the Christmas gift exchange. On Christmas day we got together at the girls house to ate donuts and opened gifts. We went from youngest to oldest.

"Oh, it's so cute"

"it looks like school disguised as a gift....should I still smile?"

Somedi finds a winner

"Gee, I never would have guessed what was in the round present"

To: Rene, From: Joe "needs to be taken in a little in the waste"

There was only one person who felt bummed after opening all the gifts. 1 out of 28... I can live with that.

For lunch we went to a Khmer restaurant. It was very South-East Asian. Rene's dish was pineapple fried rice. They served it in a hollowed out pineapple. It was picture worthy.

Personally, I would be bummed to have so much rice in my pineapple

After the meal we all went home and took a nap. Later that day we watched a movie... must not have been that great of a DVD because I can't think of the name right now. So ended our Christmas. All in all, a different experience.
