Christmas 2008

So another Christmas has come and pretty much gone. It was a small Christmas this year, but still well worth the effort. All of our Christmas decorations must be down by the 2nd week of January (as ordered by our "friendly" HOA). So apparently the birth of Christ isn't a good enough reason to keep global warming on the rise. Crazy, I know. This year, Dave got a Metallica DVD that he's been missing for years. Jessica got a baking cookbook and 2 matching breadpans. The rest of the living room is covered with everything that Bradley received, which included a Mr.Potato Head with accessories for fireman and chef, 2 sweatshirts, a book and matching puzzle, a snoopy doll, a memory game, 2 hats, and other things that I can't remember at the moment. Ibanez got a bag of catnip (which she was NOT high on when she jumped into the tree this morning). We went to the Dickson's house and got a book, silly puddy, and Firefly on DVD!!!! YAY!!! SO HAPPY!!!! We also created a stitch, not like the sewing kind...the Disney kind. Yeah, I don't know what possesses Lisa to do these crazy things, but they always come out amazing and I'm just glad I was able to be a part of it. I will post a picture as soon as I get one. Aside from that excitement, we just ate off and on all day. It's been great! Next year, we'll probably have to put some more work into the whole Santa Claus thing. Bradley was super easy to negotiate with this year. That will change I'm sure.

Anyway, Happy Holidays, hope all is well for you!
