We survived another Christmas!

Yes, it was nice to see my Dad, my sister, our baby nephew, and especially to have Brandon over for dinner today. And I was pretty proud of how well I kept myself fairly even keeled while making dinner this afternoon. But the anxiety is always there. To top it off, the kitchen sink decided to really clog up and for about 2 hours the hubby was pouring Drain-O and plunging the sink. Thankfully he got to moving again. It was interesting pouring the potatoes into a colander over the sink in the basement.

Ella did make out like a bandit. My aunt from Seattle did get her the Fisher Price camera. I joked with the hubby that we need to get her a camera strap so she can carry it around her neck. *snort* She's so cute with it. Within 5 minutes of me giving her the working camera, she made us pose for a family photo. And yes, she directed the shot. Someone remind me of this when she wins an Oscar, ok?

I told the hubby not to get me anything as I will be finally buying a new phone, hopefully a Treo, after the new year. Ella & I got him jeans & sweaters...much needed gifts! It's crazy how once you have to start buying nice clothes for work, you stop buying decent weekend clothes.

Well hope that your Christmas was good to you. For those of you who don't celebrate, hope that the day was peaceful with us crazy Santa-worshipers inside most of the day.
