Christmas #3: Pahl’s (Earhart Side)
Originally uploaded by thesongboy.

Did things a little different this year; decided to do white elephant with mom’s side. It turned out to be a lot of fun! I ended up with a deck of playing cards, mini-pool, and a huge candy bar.

Joel in Aviators and Stocking Cap.

Joel says it’s NOT a stocking cap. My bad. I asked what it is and he doesn’t know, but it’s “NOT a stocking cap”.

A phone! Just what he wanted!

Dad always lets us know what he wants for christmas, so he’s easy to buy for if you’re the type that likes to keep things simple. However if you’re the type that has to make things hard on yourself by thinking up creative, personal presents he can be a killer.

aka: “Finally Time to Start Opening!” — here’s Joel ripping into one of his first presents. Funny how it doesn’t matter how old you are — there’s still always something a little exciting about opening presents.

Had to take the picture quick because they didn’t last long this morning. You should see the place now… looks like a warzone.

Freaking 6 AM. Why?
Originally uploaded by thesongboy.

A Junior in HS and a Freshman in College… and they still feel the need to wake me up at 6am (by pile driving me on my bed). Oh well, guess it wouldn’t be christmas any other way. This pic is dad reading the christmas story from the Bible (this is tradition in our family).

Break from Xmas Shopping

Dan Price is the man. Just got the new CD that our band “2ish” made (Farther). It is amazing!!! Dan and Eric did an AMAZING job mixing! I did pretty much all my christmas shopping today (amazing, yes?) and it was cool catching up with Dan during an afternoon break.
