time in a bottle: Christmas Day
It wouldn't be Christmas morning without Hot Punch and homemade Caramel-Pecan rolls!
Fortunately, I remembered to snap this photo before they were all gone.
We were all glad to see that Moosey was in fact on Santa's "Nice" list, and that he didn't forget to leave her something--a new bed and a few toys in her stocking.
After my parents arrived around 9 a.m., we took our time opening gifts. I love unwrapping presents one at a time so we can see what everyone gets. Here, Emily displays the cupcake apron she received from Aunt Susan.
In addition to a long-wished for Nintendo DS, Sarah received some much-needed clothing.
The only gift I made this year was a dress coat in charcoal grey wool for Charlotte. This picture is somewhat blurry, but nevertheless captures her excitement upon opening her gift. Rewarding for me to see!
John was happy to get Guitar Hero World Tour. Here, he is excited to open a thoughtful gift from Charlotte--a guitar music book of one of his favorite bands.
After the gifts were opened, we opted to stay in our pajamas--far more conducive to lounging, watching television, and napping--which was all we did. Later, we enjoyed leftovers from the previous night's buffet. Moosey, unaccustomed to having round-the-clock attention, basked in the plethora of laps and eager would-be scratchers.
Biggest surprise of the day? Mark venturing into the world of self-portraiture.
A day of many treats, surprises, smiles, laughs, and good memories. *sigh* Good times.

family cheer!
A few years ago we started the tradition of having a family cheer upon completion of family prayer. It's a long story as to how this all came about, but we pile up our hands football huddle style and join in a pre-determined cheer, such as "Wood Family, Wood Family: go the length! Wood Family, Wood Family: be the strength!" or "Wood Family, Wood Family: choose the right! Wood Family, Wood Family: be the light!"
Sometimes we get more creative, however, and devise a cheer for a specific need or person. Tonight we decided to cheer for Charlotte and Emily:
"Charlotte and Emily at BYU! Charlotte and Emily we love you!" Not so creative, but sincere none-the-less.
Feel the power.
