Merry Christmas!

hey all! thanks for the well wishes. it has been a fine time in birmingham. a bit crazy at times, but a lot of fun. hope all our friends and family out there are enjoying themselves. we did some reasonable attempt at talking to some of the family overseas via skype. part of the parental units gifts is a webcam to talk to the various children in the family. below is a video share of my morning opening presents. my littlest nephew dawson wanted to play toss with his new soccer ball. this scene was basically repeated for about an hour or two. i have continued to put up pictures on my Christmas flickr set. Lots of animal pictures as my mom wanted some swan pictures with their house behind them. if you are into the stock thing, my older brother has a blog. news to me..
