Because we were away for Christmas we celebrated our Christmas as a family this morning. Santa left some gifts for the kids under the tree and we opened all the other gifts from each other. Santa brought the kids each XBox controllers and headsets so that they could play on my old XBox that I moved down to the living room. Now they can play various with their friends without having to use two devices at the same time.

Eva's Boots

Eva got a few things for her various projects including some new boots and Amazon and Michael’s gift cards. She was very excited about the boots. they are a bit big so they’ll have to be exchanged, though. She can’t wait to work on her next project, though.

Andy's Ninja Creami

Andy’s big gift was a Ninja Creami. This device lets Andy create all sorts of frozen treats. He cannot wait to start making all sorts of ice creams for everyone.

New Sign

Allison got me a nice new sign for my office. It is of my gamertag. That is the name I use when playing games online. I guess BenSpark had been taken so I end up using BenSpark96 everywhere.

My New Sign

I put the sign up in my office right under my Megatron poster from the Rhode Island Comic Con. The sign lights up various colors.

Our New Year's Feast

I had the night off so we hung out at home and we watched the movie Slumberland together. This was a fantastic movie with great visuals. We each thoroughly enjoyed watching it. when the movie was over Andy wanted to stay up until midnight. We never quite told him that he couldn’t but he ended up falling asleep trying.

Allison and I watch Ellis Paul’s show from Club Passim streaming on our iPad. I did not make it to midnight either.
