Christmas Time!

As usual we held Christmas at our house. Since we don't have little kids around, mom, Taylor and Bob came over around 3 pm so we could all open presents. Here is the low down of how it went:

Our tree and presents

 

The entire family - minus me of course since I'm taking the picture :P All of the dogs are there too!

Taylor, Mom, Bob, Chris, Babak and Ramin

Belle, Lady and Dingo

 

Babak and Ramin both got some batteries...they didn't know what for though.

I gave Taylor a nice Nike shirt - he doesn't look thrilled but he was :P

I gave Bob the "I blog, therefore I am" t-shirt. He got a kick out of it!

 

 

 

Chris got Mom a cool sewing caddy so that she can put a lot of her thread and supplies in it and take it around where she needs to go

 

I got Babak a Nike golf shirt - he thought it was a basketball shirt - but it works either way :)

I got Ramin a Columbia sweater. He doesn't have many sweaters so maybe he can start wearing one now

Chris' friends, the Pope's, got him a cool game called Brass. Another one for us to learn!

Ramin's mom got him some nice Lacoste cologne to add to his collection

The Pope's also got Chris this awesome t-shirt!

Here's what Babak's batteries were for - Chris got him a remote controlled helicopter!

Ramin's mom also got him some nice new jean shorts

Bob loves making Photoshopped pictures, so Chris got him a book to learn more about it. Chris also needs to get Bob the correct version of Photoshop too now!

Babak got Chris a cool headset for gaming. Chris needed a new one!

Ramin got some more dress shirts from his mom - she always gives the nicest ones!

Babak has a really old digital camera, so Ramin bought him a nice new one!

Chris and Babak like to give each other funny/joke type of gifts. So Babak got Chris some shampoo and body wash - they obviously thought it was hilarious!

Chris' current bed spread is horrible! The dogs have slept on too much and ripped holes in it. So I got him a nice new one - no dogs allowed!

Ramin's final present to Babak was a book called "Where's Stig?" - if you don't know what the means don't worry about it. It's from a show in the UK called Top Gear that we love.

Here's Ramin's present from me - to match his batteries. It's called Mind Flex and it's a game that uses your actual brain wave power to move a ball around an obstacle course.

After all of the gifts were open - everyone naturally had to play with everything!

...and Babak trying not to think so hard

Ramin tried it out too...

...and tried not to think so hard too!

Mom played with her new Nintendo DS games while Belle sat with her on the couch

And speaking of dogs...here are some of their cute pictures from Christmas Day!

Dingo likes to do this with both Belle and Lady....here he is resting his head on Belle's shoulder. So cute!

This is Taylor's favorite trick with Belle. She looks bent out of shape once I snapped the picture but she likes to just sit in his lap and be held like that - she's so weird when the camera turns on though!

Mom and Bob always give the dogs so much love and they let the dogs get away with a lot - like jumping up on them to get love!

How can you not love this face? Belle is such a little ham!

And that was our Christmas Day! We had some friends over throughout the day as well which was nice :) Overall it was a good and quiet Christmas - and not it's finally snowing outside too!
