About the lack of Christmas cards...

We tried. Really, we did. Here's how things turned out.

Christmas 2008

We were up opening gifts before 7am. Kasper wanted to unwrap his gifts and everyone else's too. Emmett had no interest in unwrapping anything but is fascinated with his glitter ball. Patrick got a netbook and I don't think he's put it down yet. I roasted a chicken, made amazing gravy and felt like a domestic goddess.

I'm going to quote Wil Wheaton here, because he's got a way with words: "Happy winter festival of your choice. Whatever you choose to celebrate this time of year, I hope it's filled with all the stuff you like, none of the stuff you don't like, and that you're surrounded by people you love, because that's how I'm doing it, and it rules."
