Christmas Presents

Okay, I have never seen so many Christmas presents all in one place in all my life. Ah, let me clarify. I've never seen so many gorgeously wrapped gifts, either. Wrapping is a big deal in my family. My sister, in particular, is a master-wrapper. It's an art form. And she's the artist extraordinaire. She creates hand-painted paper stars for each gift. Yep. They're pretty amazing. And I was loathe to unwrap them. Oh all right. I did want to rip into all my gifts; I LOVE PRESENTS. But I am glad I took pictures before the carnage began!
