Christmas

Here is our special Christmas Eve dinner. It is sweet rice with milk and cream, sweet rolls, candy, cookies, and nuts. It was Aaron's first time having it. He was amazed that here was a meal that was all desserts, sanctioned by adults. There was some fruit, too, but I basically just told Aaron, "Welcome to the family."

So Annie actually slept through most of Christmas Eve and the exciting gift opening on Christmas Day. Imagine that! Her best gift was the movie Nacho Libre from Uncle William. Her second best gift was diapers from Mom and Dad (Aaron and me). Our little niece loved playing with Annie and would whisper "Baby" incessantly every time she saw her.

We also had a white elephant gift exchange on New Year's Eve. As presents, Aaron and I gave an eco-log (never buy these; they stink)and a shower rod. Seth (4 years old) got the shower rod and was quite excited about it. Grandpa was less excited, especially when he saw Seth "playing" with his new toy close to the T.V. Annie, as you can see, got these special glasses. They didn't quite fit, so mouth and binky ended up in the nose part of the glasses. Ugh!
