Oh so many wondrous things!
January first was the little boy’s day of Christmas, so it was also a big day. They gave Dad two rotatable, clip-on lights.
Dad has been saying for a while that he needed a lights to see the sound mixer inside our custom radio speaker, but the speaker is another story.
They gave Mom new disks for her brand new sewing machine. 
These make the sewing machines perform different, special stitches and Mom really wanted them, so these were a great gift.
Next Nicholas got a pair of spurs.
You know, to wear with his cowboy boots.
I got an expansion pack for my new game!
We’ve been playing the game a lot since I got it and I really wanted this expansion, but I never thought the little boys would get it for me.
Christopher and Robert gave Jonathan a Lego set much like the one I got a few days ago, but this set has Spider-man and The Green Goblin!
Nathaniel also got Lego. His was a Galaxy Squad set.
In my opinion, Galaxy Squad is one of the coolest Lego themes in the last ten years.
Anne got a book, but not just any book, she got “Jean Craig Finds Romance.” Anne had the first two Jean Craig books and really wanted the third.
Robert also gave Christopher Galaxy Squad Lego.
Christopher gave Robert more art supplies: tracing paper, mechanical pencils, and a pack of Sharpies.
Despite the great gifts we all received the highlight of the evening was Veronica receiving her gift. 
There’s something uniquely amusing about a seven year old girl unwrapping the that box, clutching it excitedly to her bosom and shouting, “Tiny Girl!”
Apparently Veronica owned this set several years ago and named the robot Tiny Girl. The set has long since been lost to the mixed Lego and Veronica has been trying to rebuild her. I’m really glad Veronica liked her gift, but who would have guessed that this set would be named Tiny Girl.
