Adiós 2008

Okay, I'm not a 'frequent blogger'. Now that we've got expectations at their proper level, here's what's been going on over the last few weeks:

We went to the Ward Christmas party where the girls got some last minute 'nice points' with Santa. Sarah also sang a duet with her friend, Corinne.

At home, the kids had a Christmas party where they (9 of them) made graham cracker Christmas houses a few days before Christmas.

We scored a screamin' good deal on an above-the-range microwave, which I got to install--the hardest part was removing the 1983 range hood that was clearly installed by someone who wasn't overly concerned with 'code'.

Our little family had a Christmas eve dinner for six (for, like, the first time ever), complete with Roast Beast and Martinellli's. Super ultra yummy!

Christmas morning started early (I suppose it was technically a.m. when they started trying to sneak out of their rooms, but the 'hall cop' was only half asleep and sent them back); everyone was sufficiently spoiled and loved it.
