O'Connor Christmas - Christmas Day 2007

It is the tradition of the O'Connor clan to open one gift at a time, beginning with the oldest family member first. A great tradition, because it teaches the youngest to respect those older than themselves (which they did very well I might say), and everyone gets to enjoy the best part of Christmas: gift GIVING. So in the spirit of this tradition, Grampy went first!



Then Auntie Pattie... Now this is the hottest cookbook just translated to english. Although I don't think she really needs it. Considering she can do nothing short of MIRACLES with stuff from magazines, as i have referred to earlier. (pause for momentary salivation... Ahhhh) Anyway I'm sure that at least one of those 1080 delectible delights just HAS to become part of some tradition sometime that will somehow make its way to my precious palate. Ooh, sorry. Was that self-cenetered? I mean, I'm sure it will become part of something that Pat will use to bless lots of people. (that sounds weak, still only thinking about what it might be and how it might taste... oh well)



Auntie Moe and some pretty girlie stuff. nuf said. :) Most people say that Caryn and Auntie Moe look a lot alike, but there are photos coming on a later Blog that will show how much the family resemblence is actually passed to the in-laws, myself in particular. Keep visiting.

Look at these precious little ones waiting so patiently. And they really were. They were just sitting there waiting. WHO WOULD HAVE BELIEVED IT! My oh my!

Uncle John and his Grinch T-shirt. But... he bought the kids AWESOME presents... must be cuza the movie.


Kids still patiently waiting. Although Nina is splitting in two in anticipation (one drawback of a moving target with a panorama image and the phone cam)

I should mention here that Auntie Kathy is totally left out of these
pictures. Sorry. just didn't make into the phone cam. Rest
assured she did make it onto the regular cam so she will be on another page in
the future!



Nina's first Cabbage Patch collectables! The smile looks a little phony. But she really was excited. it's just the fever. :(





Sara LOVED her new ORIGINAL DESIGNER HAND MADE BAG!


These bags are available for YOU to purchase (pick your own fabric). As soon as I get a URL to link to, I will put it here. Keep checking back! :)


oh yeah more stuff! These are from a very short family member. His name is Warren.


And here he is! Isn't he PRECIOUS! He also has an INSATIABLE APPETITE! During the opening of gifts he himself single-handedly, or should I say single-fangedly, opened a football (seen in the foreground) and de-eyed a lobster then removed it's stuffing. Don't be fooled. He's nice to humans but look out if you're a dog toy. Woah. No, really he's a great guy. You can't see it here, but he also bears a striking resemblence to the author of this blog. Check for later blogs to find out more.

A few of Noah's presents. The digital camera like his sister's that came from Uncle John. (yes, both kids wanna have their own blogs.. what have we done now!) and this totally rad microsope. (yeah. 'totally rad.' I'm an 80's kid. i know. "86! 86! 80-80-80-80-86!")
