Backlogging continued Christmas edition

Merry Christmas on the second to last day of Jan.! Over here at the Linke household we work on being timely with our posts. However, since we fell hopelessly behind, but had some great occasions to write about still, we figured we might as well keep backlogging posts. :-) Here are some pics from our Christmas with Mom, and Dad, Sam, Dave, Scott, Grandma, Steve and Char.





Nothing like a great Christmas feast right?







This years goods...







Scott's reaction to learning that above picture represented his share of the pile...









OK, i totally made that up. This was really his new headshot for the ladies... Thoughtful, yet fun.





Sam getting very emotional about being around family and friends.... and of course the close proximity of onions...







Hayden getting into the swing of things by unwrapping his first Christmas present. He caught on too quickly....







This is Hayden spying on grandpa (still sounds weird to say that). Hayden is secretly thinking,"do you want help eating the wrapping paper?"





My beautiful wife stealing a Spanish olive from me while I am cheesing for the camera! Thanks Maite and Esteve for the fantastic Catalan Olives. They were even better than Spanish ones. :-)





Dave just before a brain meltdown....





We all had to later admit what a fantastic puzzle the Rubik's cube truly is. Frankly i would rather take it apart in order to match the colored sides.



Last but not least we have had this gag gift in our family for almost 20 years. Every couple of years the famed "electric potato peeler" is regifted usually to a newly married couple, or as it was first gifted, a really old married couple. The potato peeler was initially given to my grandmother where she proceeded to test it out by flinging potato skins all over the entire kitchen. She promptly threw the peeler in the trash, and it has been regifted ever since. Jenn, has truly entered the inner circle of trust by becoming the 2007 recipient of the infamous peeler...





More backloggin to come....




Nothing to say here, i think you know who my team is...
