Happy Holiday of Choice

Took Sam over to the parent's so my bro's kids could play with him. And they seemed very happy with that, even if he spent 90% of the hour and a half hiding behind a couch...

And also some traditional music for your enjoyment:

Home again

Survived the Kid-a-palooza, as did everyone else. Very little in the way of cranky pouting and the like. My uncle's oldest girl and my step-sister Jessica's two oldest are all looking crazy mature for 11-13 year olds. Uncle Tim especially is not looking forward to the coming years of teen-girl-dom...

Only some clothes and a McDs gift card tonight, but more gift giving expected tomorrow at day-of dinner. Nice clothes though, including a new set of black jeans to match the ones I wear all the time now. And the gifts I gave out seemed to go over well across the board...

And more holiday music from the f-list:
