Christmas 2007

We had a lovely Christmas Eve at our place (sorry, no pictures)and it was a lot of fun playing "Loaded Questions" and eating yummy food with our many friends. We played Wii and introduced Blayne's parents to the joys of Wii tennis elbow and double bogeys on the Wii golf course. Cecily watched "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" and we all ate way too much.

Eric and I woke up late this morning and found that an inch of snow was already on the ground and there were 4 more on the way! The snow from our last storm hadn't quite melted so it looks like we have a blizzard here.

We opened our gifts and allowed the dogs to have a treat or two. Audrey didn't seem to notice that her stocking was once our beloved Darcy Dog's. All she really cared about was the basted rawhide Cache had received... Audrey has a sensitive stomach (we learned this the hard way) and has been given all the squeaky toys and a small rawhide.

Eric received Wii FIFA soccer, some cold weather biking gear, Wii Super Mario, and many wonderful goodies from my family.
I was very excited about the gourmet coffee, fancy coffee grinder, and other gifts I didn't deserve. Our tree was overflowing with gifts and it didn't seem right that it was just the two of us with all these presents! I did receive this wonderful book about green living from Eric. Ah, he knows me well!

Eric is still eating the potato chips and french onion dip from last nights festivities, and he is watching "Christmas Story" for the 5th time in two days!

We are planning on going over to the Chastain's for an early dinner and then dessert and game night. It is going to be a wonderful Christmas, as always!
Hope you all have a great holiday.
(If anyone wants to come out and ski please do! I need someone to come visit to give me the excuse to go-the snow in the mountains is amazing!)
