Photo: Christmas from Scott's PerspectiveOrphan Christmas was more fun that I ever imagined. To qualify as an orphan for this party, our parents couldn't be close by, and neither could the rest of our families. On the menu was tamales, enchiladas, salad, cookies (as seen in previous posts), chocolate toffee, Izze's, corn chips, and pork pies to go. We had a stocking exchange, opened presents, cracked piñatas, had a nativity contest (for which you are judges), and drank Mexican hot chocolate -- I know that hurts Anita just a little. All of the pictures are posted here, so take a look -- Christmas Photos.

Photo: Anne opening her gift card extravaganzaThe whole night was so fun, and I really hope that other people post their favorite memories. Rather than tell you mine, I'll just let you have a good laugh yourselves. Jakey and the little girls made us a book and I am going to put it here for you. Sorry, no pics (although they are great). I'm too tired to scan them all. It's been a wicked long day. Enjoy!

"If I weren't poor... I would get Karen a Michael Jackson Power wheels."
"If I weren't poor... I'd buy you a hot dog farm."
"If I weren't poor... I'd buy a motorcycle with a side car so Ali and Bean could travel the whole United States."
"If I weren't poor... I would get Scott a plasma TV [Dr. Phil is playing]."
"If I weren't so poor... I would get Dave a prize heifer."
"If I weren't poor... I would get you (Ali) a wheat-free carrot."
"If I wasn't poor... I'd make each of you stained glass wind chimes for your homes, just like the ones Grandma use to make, except for Scott who gets a rocket pack for quick escapes [Scott's rocket pack takes him to the moon to be alone]."
"If I weren't so poor... I would give Alice peace on Earth."
"If I weren't so poor... I would steal Ali's united world to give Scott global domination."
"If I weren't so poor... I would get Karen bangs for her hair (it hides the Yeagley forehead)."
"If I weren't so poor... I'd buy [Karen] a swimming pool filled with Chipotle sauce and a life jacket made from burritos."
"If I weren't poor... I'd give Dave another puppy."
"If I wasn't poor... I'd make Ali and Scott's attic into a miniature golf course."
"If I weren't so poor... I'd buy your cat [Bean] a giant hamster ball so he could go explore the world... safely."
"If I weren't poor... I'd buy off thousands of people who would pretend to love Linux just like Dave (Dave says, "Gee wizzz! I love Linux")."
"If I wasn't poor... I would hire Karen to be the host of the Price is Right (she's way better than Bob Barker)."
"If I weren't so poor... I'd buy you a Christmas tree made out of vanilla ice cream and pies."
