Well, it's Christmas Day 2011. 

Tom and I opened our gifts last night as usual.  We started this back when the kids were old enough to understand that Santa didn't bring all the gifts.

Tom and I decided that this year we wouldn't go overboard on gifts for each other.  I gave Tom 4 German wooden smokers and some tools he needed.

Tom's Aunt Micky gave me a boy German Doll and Tom gave me the matching girl doll. 

We have a house advent calendar. Tom put a very small Steif bear behind one of the doors.  I thought it was my Steif bear, then on Christmas Tom gave me another German Steif bear.  I had always wanted one and Tom picked out just the right one. It's one of the light colored bears about 2 ft high and I love it.
