Christmas 2007

Just a sampling of photos from our Christmas Eve

As you can see, the bar was filled with food, and the meat and cheese fondue was not out.

The burners for the fondue pots refused to stay lit, or were too uneven. We sacked them for cooking the meat and just put the pots on the stove. The food section in the paper today said that throwing a 60's New Year's Eve was all the rage. The main photo was a... Fondue Pot!

Gifts for 20 people really stack up in our little front room.

A good time was had by all, and we were all very tired that night. The kids woke early, despite the late night. Kaia couldn't wait to see what Santa brought.


Kaia was so into her gifts, I couldn't get a photo of her. We did take plenty of video, though.

Christmas Day was fairly relaxing, although we did load up a bunch of stuff to take to the dump. Pretty much everything Sampson had destroyed and the plastic and wrappings from the holiday. Dana and I put away our toys, well almost. I received two sets of pots and pans. So one set is in my cupboard, and the other set will go into our trailer. I will actually have decent cookware in both of my homes! The kids played with their toys all day, except for Mo's nap which was about 3 hours. He was wearing Thomas jammies, covered up in his Thomas blanket, with his Thomas flashlight by his side. Kaia enjoyed changing into all her new outfits, playing Barbies and Princesses and as a whole family we watched Shrek 3 (and almost as a whole family we watched Nanny McPhee earlier in the day). One last thing... our home is still fairly clean!
