Wrapped presents were laid on the sofa and waiting for the guests to arrive.

Gypsy the dog sat with her tail on a squeaky, pink, toy star and waited for the first present to be unwrapped.

Westly's strong boy's arms tore open his first present.

Brandon wore the t-shirt he received as a present in a previous year. It read:

Dad,
The Man,
The Myth,
The Legend.

Gypsy the dog appeared lost and out of focus among the dregs of unwrapped presents.

Paper bags were set out to hold unwrapped paper. Sadly they filled to overflowing rather quickly.

The evening's leftover wrapping paper littered the living room floor.
