Merry Christmas from Detroit

Merry Christmas.
We are all over Tim's house.

Dad woke up early and drove until he could start the morning right - with Starbucks - that is! He loves his Starbucks. I wonder if they make a "patch" for emergencies!

I (Tracy) drove over early in my pajamas. Tim has been hobbling around as he hurt his foot last night on a toothpick - Ouch! Tim decorated his house with his nutcrackers. I am going to post some pictures of all of them in the next couple of days. They are all very unique. Tim also has a Christmas tree up with white lights, green, red, and silver jingle bells.

We opened our stockings with Pete, Emily Ann, and Alaina over video g-mail chat. It was really fun to see them this Christmas morning even though they are hundreds of miles away. Alaina really loved the peppermint sticks that her Daddy received in his stocking. It's hard to believe that in no time at all they will no longer be three but four!

Mom wrapped all of our presents so beautifully. She also made a lot of our gifts - gloves, hats, paintings, and I love the bag that she made me. I can't wait to show you. It's beautiful. Dad did a great job picking out all sorts of electronic for us - big and small - he did a great job! Right now he is watching his new corvette DVD. It's crackin' me up! Mom also bought DAD a BRA! HA HA ha ha he he he! A corvette bra that keeps the bugs off the front end.

Mom is cooking right now - a glazed ham, cranberries, mostacioli, and asparagus. Tim requested brownies for dessert - Perfect!! I'll make a few posts throughout the day - I hope you do too - tell us what you are up to. What are some of your holiday traditions? What was the favorite gift that you gave? Did something funny happen today? Can't wait to hear from you today.

Merry Christmas - Love, Tracy
