It's been quite a few weeks, as my waistline can attest to. Christmas has come and gone, and we are just working a bit this week, getting ready to go to Hawaii 10 days from now!
December was great. While I was in Tampa, the Emster and AM were in WP for B'fast with Santa. She just stared at ol' St. Nick wondering who is this fuzzy dude? The following wknd we were here wrapping presents, getting last minute gifts, and AM and I had a night out by ourselves as a little Christmas present to each other (went to Old Vinings Inn for dinner...good, but don't need to go back). The wknd before Christmas we were down in WP, and had a great time with B&S, and the 'rents. Helen, as usual did a great job with the Christmas Cantata, and lil' Emilie survived the nursery for an hour! Supposedly she cried for about 10 minutes, and then was fine, but very quiet afterwards.
For Christmas eve, we were out at the Dooley's, then back home late that night. We had Christmas morning at our house...Christmas breakfast at the Dooley's...Christmas lunch and presents in S'ville with J and B and fam...and Christmas beer's at night at Pete's. Then it was time for Christmas sleep. Next morning, we were off to Callaway Garden's to celebrate the Dooley's 40th wedding anniversary, and take the trolley on the Fantasy in Lights. A little chilly it was, but we had a great time. Toasts were abound late night (I didn't) with Kevin bringing down the house with his short, well-stated toast to "Dave and Una". It was a classic.
We took the kiddo to the butterfly center on Sunday, and I think she got a kick out of it.
We're back here this week, and woke up yesterday to the sound of chainsaws as they are finally starting on our sidewalks. I have a little video of this that I need to upload.
That's all for now, see all 2 of you in 2010!
