Christmas 2007 was a little different. For the past several years we would have all our children home for Christmas. In the morning we would all get up at a decent time (usually around 9 a.m. because we spent most of Christmas Eve playing video games), eat a nice breakfast and then open gifts (one at at time - not rushing the joy of giving/opening gifts).
This year we didn't have Ben, Skye, Lizzie, Heidi, or our dog Fritz with us. Fritz died last year, but we still can hear him barking at the front door. After 13 years of greeting us at the door, it's hard not hearing his familiar bark. So we went from 9 gathered around the Christmas tree to 4 this year.
I would have to say that Steve had the biggest pile of gifts this year. He was still opening gifts while the rest of us were done a long time ago.

That's because I get the inexpensive things, from my list.
