You can't iceskate backwards?
What's the matter with you? :P
I echo Carolyn, only in a slightly different way.
Your favourite tradition is having the entire family at your house, usually overnight? What is wrong with you? And how did you score such a worthy extended family?! My extended family drives me crazy. One full day of craziness is one full day too much.
You must be a saint.
carolyn - Oh, I CAN skate backwards; it is an ackward, ugly, hourglass-wretched-jerky thing done.
mf - I am the Family Volcano. Known for being the most far from Saint as possible without actually residing in the Depths of Hell. My Family? Are like elves doing prep and cleaning. While I bring forth occasionally flaming creations that are run, screaming and cursing, to the nearest exit and jettisoned with much disgust into snowbanks where they sizzle and steam. The only remark: "Well, shit. I gave her that Toaster Oven... "
Christmas babies!
Sometime, if you're willing to share, I'd love to hear your first stories of P and R -
And really? That bad? Gee, you seemed calmer to me....
Okinawa? Dale has speny quite a bit of time in Okinawa. Do tell.
And gosh I'm an idiot! I meant to say first of all, how wonderful it is that your boys came to you on Christmas!
Christmastime in your house must be a wonderful triple celebration now with the boys :-)
I noticed in your last post that your house has three levels - ours is the same. What I want to know is that no-one else seems to understand that things left on the very top step, top level, need to be taken down and vice versa!
As to those vests ... adorable.
And as to chocolate cream pie and snow (the lightly falling kind without any wind) ... heaven!
Babies at Christmas are a blessing. Gee, you'd think I was a mom.
My brother came to us the year I was eleven. On Dec 20. The day he came home, all he did was cry. Thankfully a friend invited me to the movies.
