OK, so I'm a slacker and I haven't gotten around to creating a viable Christmas entry yet. But we've been quite busy with the holidays, and then traveling around New Years (more photos to come) plus house projects, and Brie going back to work, and then each of us getting sick at different times, so it can be hard to blog. But we had a great Christmas, the kids got a lot of quality goodies, and we spent a good amount of time relaxing. Here are some Christmas pictures:
Griffin's the first one in to the living room Christmas morning. He's just at that age when the anticipation builds each day and the morning excitement is overwhelming
If the tree seems small that's because it is. Neither of us like a fake tree, and any real tree you buy around here is shipped down from Oregon or someplace, and is absurdly priced and wasteful. So be bought a real Desert Pine tree from a garden center, repotted it, and decorated it. Now it's living happily outside. If it gets too big for the pot we'll put it in the ground, if not we'll use it again next year. Believe it or not this was a less expensive option than either a dead tree or a plastic tree.
Matilda is not quite at the anticipation age, but she does relish tearing into a package:
This is a cool light-up WallE shirt from Grandma Joyce and Grandpa Spike, he also got an awesome magnetic set from Denise and Andrew:
This was perhaps Griffins favorite present (at least the one he never put down all day) It's a joke camera that shoots water, we bought it on a whim, and he kept chasing us around with it all day yelling "say cheese!"
A new hat and a new action figure, you can never have too many of either.
So as a resolution I'm going to try to do more regular entries, they will of course be shorter, and will have less pictures, but they should offer greater variety. The drawback is they may be boring or humdrum, but for all I know nobody reads every part anyway. Other blogs I've read have a lot more regular entries, and some may be just writing.
