Yay, Two Christmases!

This, unlike many of my posts, is actually on time even though it looks late. Kristiana sent a box of Christmas presents to us from the ice, but it didn't get here until this week. So we all got together last night to open it (and eat junk food). Thanks Kris, everything was perfect!

Exhibit A: the box our gifts were shipped in. We had clear instructions not to open it until we were all together, but it was opened before we got there... (Britta says she opened it to make sure everything was inside that was supposed to be, but I think she peeked :))

Asher munching on pizza, he's giving me that look because I wouldn't give him my pizza.

Rachel enjoying her pizza, nom nom nom!

Anmy was ready for the picture, Tom was not

Same story here with Scott and Enoch

Britta was excited to hand out the presents (probably because she already knew what was in them*)

Anmy looks drunk with Christmas spirit, but she was just happy to open Kris's present!

Katie got a cute penguin doll (quack!)

So did Asher, but his had a barrel of whiskey under it's arm...awww cute!

All of us got a 1 or 2 year-old size jacket from McMurdo Station, Antarctica for the kids. Anmy and I got them for our future little ones. These are really nice, Kris, thank you so much!!

Enoch got a hand-knitted hat

And Tom and Skip got McMurdo t-shirts.

Thanks again for all the beautiful gifts, Kris. Sorry I didn't get pics of all the little pieces, but just so everyone knows: Kris also made earrings for Rachel, and wine glass markers for me, and little knitted rose pins for all the girls. You're such a good friend, and I speak for everyone when I say we can't wait to see you again!!!

*Just kidding, Britta, I know you didn't peek.
