Holiday roundup
Despite some weather-related challenges, we got where we needed to go safely. It was nice to see everyone, and we ate a lot of good food (although my stomach is so squished I can’t eat the quantities I’d like to, which grumps me out) and gave/received many lovely gifts. We ended up coming home a day early because Denny came down with a cold, I was getting over a cold, and I’m 8 months pregnant. We both thought we’d benefit from a quiet day of relaxation.
Some highlights:
- Denny’s cousin’s wife gave me a hand-made baby sling similar to this one but in nicer colors. She put a lot of work into it, and it was so thoughtful of her. I put the stuffed frog into it yesterday and wore it around the house for a while.
- Denny briefly caught fire but was uninjured (I cannot say the same for his sweater). It was an unfortunate incident involving a candle, a window seat, and leaning back too far.
- We ate sushi on Christmas night and got fawned over by the waitress and saw a cute toddler sushi patron.
Look what I got in my stocking. Yum yum/pretty pretty.
Mmm, Bochner.
I got a Power Rangers bouncy ball! I’M PLAYING WITH IT ALL THE TIME.
Aieee. I’ve had potholders catch fire, but not myself. I hope Denny was wearing a bad Christmas sweater and not a nice one or one of sentimental value.
My wife had one of those slings for our son. It came in handy, but he outgrew the darn thing too fast.
My son is now one of those toddler sushi patrons 🙂
We’ve just discovered his love of sushi a few days ago. He’s 2 now and prefers sushi to chicken nuggets!
