Christmas 2005
Here are some snapshots of our day.
Highlights include:
-A tent in our living room left by Santa.
-Spontaneous hugs from Gus for most everyone.
-Sock monkey pajamas from Mom for John and I. I won't admit that I'm still wearing them. The day after Christmas. At 6:15 in the evening. That's just excessive.
-Getting a stalkerazzi long lense for my camera...I can take pictures from my couch perch, no matter where you are. Beware.
-Creating a long table for 12 people in our dining room. Can we say EXCUSE ME? It was a bit tight, but we're family.
-Watching Gus pass out on the couch with a chocolate-covered cookie in his hand. Our couch has a lasting memento from this moment.
-With our fifth Christmas now behind us, I can conclusively say that it is absolutely impossible to surprise John but always possible to surprise me. I never ask John what he wants for Christmas because it's a personal challenge to myself to find something that really suits him...I think I'll have to start planning now for next year.
-Having Baby E boogie around a lot. He did not want to be left out.
-My favorite: A group of us dancing to the Hokey Pokey Elmo at the end of the night. Even bedrest Janna was doing a version.
-Mount Consumerism on our back porch. The pile of boxes is astonishing. I think we've done our part to keep the economy going.
I might change my clothes tomorrow. Honest.
