Christmas morning was a special day as a kid and I still find myself a bit excited for some reason. This year I was up at 5:30, not because I had an alarm set, just because I couldn't sleep. I wanted to make sure I made it over to my sister's house to watch my nephew open gifts. He's almost double digits now and I'm not quite sure how many more years he'll believe in Santa. Also, I'm not sure how many Christmases I'll be around in the future. So, when home, I like to see his face and watch him open gifts on Christmas.
Speaking of Santa, I must have been a good boy this year because I made out quite well. I got the 2 things I asked for - an I-Pod touch for when I'm traveling as well as a skateboard. I have visions of myself cruising down the streets of South America on a skateboard. Also, it's my challenge to myself this year - learn to ride a skateboard. So, that's exciting. Here are a few photos from Christmas morning... stay tuned for more photos from Christmas evening.

(We got him a guitar this year for Christmas)
(When he came in Gavin handed him some picks. I told him, "Pops, wasn't a good year this year. Going to have to wait another year." He went out to the car to grab something and by the time he came back into the house his guitar was already on the couch. However, before seeing it he said, "Well, the least you could have done was printed off a picture." Then he saw it and said, "Oh. There it is."
