Pre-Christmas Event

Amy, Paul, and James will spend the last two weeks of December visiting family, but transporting gifts was too much of a hassle, so we had a small gift-opening ceremony on Friday night. After two weeks of trying to keep James away from the presents, we couldn't convince him to come near them once we had declared them free game. After Amy finally unwrapped them for him, James decided that the most interesting object in the room was Amy's keys (See the Albertsons card in his hand in the photo above.). Still, could we call ourselves good parents if we didn't arrange a nice photo op? So we scattered wrapping paper around and turned on the lights on the Christmas tree, and pretended that James was excited about his gifts.
