Just one present...

Okay, we're adults but we're definitely still kids at heart. So as Mike knew exactly what one of his gifts was, the time bomb of insanity has been ticking. Stephanie took pity on him after making him beg for about a week, finally allowing him to open the present only because our local hawk was out hunting parrots again.

Seizing the opportunity Mike shredded the wrapping and unveiled a Celestron 80mm 60x zoom spotting scope which he quickly trained upon the hawk and everything within site. Below is a picture of the Ferry Building clock face at 40x. With an good SLR camera we should be able to get some nice hawk pictures too. (Thanks Mom!)

Stephanie also got to open up one early gift too; a beautiful sweater from Anthropologie which is kind of like art in woolen-hoodie form. Fortunately it wasn't too itchy as she's very sensitive to any non-merino wools.

We can barely wait to see what else Santa brings - pray we can resist the urge to open anything until Christmas day!
