We celebrated Christmas yesterday (the 22nd). It was kind of hectic getting everything together but it was great that everyone could get the day off to spend it together. That was a little vague but with 2 nurses and a firefighter in the family, it's hard to coordinate holidays. Lily only had a small meltdown (just kidding it was huge!) when g-ma, g-pa, auntie Nicole and Uncle Todd arrived. It took a couple of Christmas cookies to get her to calm down. Really, what's so bad that it can't be cured by cookies??? (Well, a lot of things really, but she's a baby and doesn't know that - in her book, cookies = good)
Once she calmed down we all had a good time. Grandpa wasted no time in sucking up to Lily with a piece of chocolate. You can see her looking up at him thinking, hmmm you're not so bad after all. :) Oh yeah, I didn't get to tell everyone that Lily had woken me up at 1:20 in the morning that day and kept me awake until 4. So I did my best to participate, I know I was scatterbrained. A big shout out to g-ma and Nicole for helping with dinner. And washing up. :)
I'm sorry, I didn't get any pictures of Lily opening presents. I was too busy opening my own! Okay, I wrapped Thriller and Harry Potter V for myself but I wanted to take the pressure off of Santa. Does anyone else do this?? Actually, I was so tired yesterday I forgot which cd and dvd I had bought myself. Surprise!!!! Now, this is what daddy and Lily got up to when I went to the grocery store today. Guess who loves chocolate??? Okay, that might not really narrow it down in my house.
Anyway, I hope everyone had a good time yesterday. I know I did, at least during my lucid times. :) Merry Christmas to all of you who still have to celebrate it! I actually feel like the pressure is off and I feel like I can really enjoy Christmas as a quiet reflective day. Of course, the sales start on Wednesday so I'll need to sharpen my credit cards for that.... :) What? Nobody else has a Christmas cat? Ha, suckas! PS (I really hope Jennifer gets that puppy!)

As much as I want the puppy, it's just a pipe dream as my landlord would give us all the boot and we'd be homeless in 2008! :)
Maybe next year...
Merry Christmas!
She is a really adorable puppy. I have a thing for fluffy snuggly dogs. Who could resist those eyes???? It's too bad you can't get her. I hope she goes to a good family and I hope you find the right dog at the right time. :)
Thanks again Page and Sonia for cooking a tasty turkey. Hope to see you guys this weekend
