Christmas Day 2004

Since Russ' parents had come right before Christmas, they brought a bunch of Christmas gifts with them.  I had been completely dismayed to learn that we weren't going to open the presents last week when we were all together.  (That clearly outlined a huge difference between the Stoller and Roslewski clans.  My family would have opened the presents before Christmas when we were all together.)  I hadn't had this many presents to open on Christmas Day since I was a young child.
Jack felt left out sitting on the other side of the room and came and joined us when we were taking this photo.

 Jack showed us what a good helper he was with unwrapping presents.

 My favorite present of all was the set of uniform name tags that Russ ordered for me as an early wedding present.
