Merry Christmas… Or Whatever :)
December 25th, 2008This day? I'm not really a fan, and I don't think that fact is any big secret. In fact, if we hadn't had children, I'd be happy to act as if it were any ol' regular day. Its gotten worse over the years, and this year is no exception. Its as if some cosmic force just wants me to hate this season, because every year, some heaping pile of crap falls in our laps to deal with.
Because of the seemingly yearly pile of crap, I'm typically a great big sourpuss from Thanksgiving through New Years, Richard thought he'd try to cheer me up with some "Carla Approved" Christmas music, complete with an um, colorful title...
I love it. It's made me smile entirely too much, and I listen to it often.
Now on to the obligatory pictures..
The tree.. before the onslaught
Cassidy, excited over her new Hannah Montana light up fashion plates type thingamajig
Alex with is much anticipated and pined over roboraptor
Dylan scored Megatron.
Connor, loved everything.
Christmas eve was... interesting. After waiting for what seemed like forever for the kids to fall asleep, Richard had already fallen asleep, and I was left to deal with the Santa set up by myself. Then halfway through finishing wrapping, before I could even get the previously wrapped gifts from the attic, the massive wind storm took out the power. Yeah.. scaling the attic steps with a flashlight and a wrapped Roboraptor - I wouldn't suggest doing it any time soon.
Two hours of Santa set up in the dark, crawl into bed dead tired.. and power comes back on.
So, whatever you celebrate, or if you don't celebrate anything at all, I hope y'all had a great day.
