Wait, What? Christmas?
December 27, 2008
What the hell happened? I feel like I just got home from my parents house and then suddenly it was Christmas. It was so bad that Derek and I found ourselves running to the drugstore at 11:00 PM on Christmas Eve to pick up a last minute gift that we’d very nearly forgotten completely.
These last few weeks have been an absolute whirlwind of activity. Add to that the fact that Ana is very nearly mobile and no longer stays exactly where I lay her down and that leaves me with very little time to post. So be it.
At any rate, I hope that everybody had a fantastic holiday, whatever they celebrate, and that not everybody is sitting in the three feet of snow that we’re currently sitting in over here. Beautiful to look at, not so much fun to try to get around in. I would certainly imagine that the young girl who rear-ended us on Christmas Eve is wishing there wasn’t so much snow on the ground. Yes, we’re all fine. Ana included.
So now I’m scrambling to make sure that I can wrap up my end of year stuff and get settled in and ready for 2009. We took down our Christmas tree today, yup, the day after Christmas, just so we could make room for all of our regular stuff. 2009 will be a year of purging. I simply don’t have the room for all the stuff that we own and it’s time to eliminate.
That said, it’s going to be hard to eliminate when Ana pulls in the kind of loot that she did this year at her first Hanukkah and Christmas.
She looks awfully happy, doesn’t she? Now I’m off to find room for all of that… and yes, that was ALL for her. None of our stuff is in that pile. INSANITY.
Holy moly… That pile is the size of all of our presents together including the four guests we had staying here.
She is so cute.
December 27th, 2008 at 3:40 pmOh my goodness, she sure did rake it in, didn’t she? But I can see why, she is such a cutie how could you resist not giving her everything in the world.
Glad you are all okay and that you had a great holiday.
December 27th, 2008 at 5:20 pmHoly shitaka. Lucky girl, eh? Even my kid never made off with such loot! Well done.
December 29th, 2008 at 7:47 amWow, glad you guys had a great holiday
Holy Loot, Batman!
Glad everyone survived intact…our roads are temporarily great b/c we had an insane warm snap over the weekend (it was 70! In December! In Pittsburgh!). But I know it won’t last….sigh…

It was pretty mild here on Christmas Day. No White Christmas for us.
December 29th, 2008 at 2:40 pmOh, I love her red velvet dress! I wonder if it comes in my size.
You guys got three feet? Oy. We had more than a foot, and that was enough to shut down the city for a week and a half. If we’d had three feet, we’d all be dead now.

January 3rd, 2009 at 9:07 amAww pretty baby and pretty snow. It was HOT here for Chrismtas. Boo hiss.
The “polar bear and penguins love the ice burr it’s cold and that’s so nice” toy is Squeak’s favorite this year. She plays and plays and plays with it.
