Images of the Season

Posted on December 27, 2005

Fancy title.Probably has you expecting snow dusted evergreens, cheery caroling pictures and people dressed up in their Sunday best. Naw. Just a hodge podge of pictures taken on Christmas, and one odd funny face picture thrown in for good measure. Briar is a master of making faces that leave us in puddle of gooey emotion or just plain hysterical laughter. She’s broadened her concerned look to include a bit of tongue commentary. Enjoy! Here she is cruising in her car from Nana with Dad looking on proudly. This was actually Christmas Eve. Happy, healthy and together.We had our every wish come true this holiday. Truly an embarrassment of riches.Thank you to all of our family and friends who shared with us through cards, calls,…

Christmas Eve & Christmas Morning Part I

Posted on December 25, 2005

We had Nana, Ciocci Jeannie, and Betty over for supper and playtime on Christmas Eve.Briar was sure to let everyone have a turn pushing and pulling her around in her box. Ciocci Jeannie steering the box. Nana being the motor for the box. Daddy lifting Briar out of the box with a flourish. Mom prefers to roll around without the box. Christmas Morning.

Mascara applied on just one side (and a mascara wand no where in sight for repair) Baby sock traveling down a pant leg (and on to the floor only when in clear view of non-parents) Banana finger prints on sleeves(FYI banana looks like mucus when dried on fabric) Peanut butter smears at baby levels (typically thighs and…

Almost

Posted on December 23, 2005

Looks like Christmas is going to extend to the 27th and 29th. Those are the dates that my four remaining Christmas orders have been rescheduled for delivery to by UPS.Slightly aggravating, but all things considered, I should just be grateful that I had the means to make the orders and the people in my life for whom to order them. This holiday snuck up on me. I cannot believe that tomorrow is Christmas Eve. I wish I could have a few more of those days leading up to Christmas Eve, when everyone is just a tad kinder, the air crackles with that special holiday magic, everything looks sweeter, more wholesome. I forgot to play carols as often as I should have. I haven’t had…
