We got back pretty early yesterday from our Christmas with the Lynches in Methuen. So early in fact that we were able to cook a turkey dinner here - with a turkey breast of course. And we finished up our last few presents. A new tradition has been started in the St. Germain house - forget a few of your wife's presents when you leave for Christmas so you make sure she wants to return... I saved some of Stevens to open here as well but they weren't as fun as mine. He went to his favorite jewlery place again where they have him on file and picked out a pretty white and yellow gold bracelet - very nice. Christmas in Methuen was just about the same as ever - even without the tree. My parents are off today to San Francisco for a weddding this coming weekend and so they didn't want the hassle of a tree. Cross your fingers that there is no earthquake while they are there like has been reported - Mom did say that if the "big one" gets them Colleen is to get both houses and I get the angels...
Here are some outtakes from our Christmas present exchange yesterday - poor Ken - he didn't know what he was getting himself in for when he agreed to take part in the funny present exchange...
Colleen's Air-Zooka that Steven picked out...
Ken was really eyeing the Air-Zooka thinking OOO - maybe she'll let me play with it...
Steven had to break out the tools to put the thing together...
Things only got better when Ken opened his gift - Humphrey the Humping Dog... Just what he always wanted.
Mom was having fun with her presents - the dancing turtle and the food scale... guess which one was the gag gift and which was from Dad - one hint- the gag gift dances 
The Big Guy celebrating his 60th with 60 scratch tickets - we left him there in Methuen only having scratched 6 or 7 - I think he probably stayed up all night before they left for the airport frantically scratching to see if he won...
