Had our family Christmas dinner. Which was quite nummy. All three of us did something help make it all delish. We toasted to grandma's memory and hoped she would be proud of the meal we cooked.

In California, our traditional Christmas Eve was spent at my dad's house. He has a party each year for family and close friends. I called and wished him a merry Christmas Eve.

Now i just need the kids to crash for the night so I can wrap the last two prezzies and fill their stockings.

Fic! Yuletide is supposed to go live in 49 minutes, right? Right?

Done!

Grape war being shut down by repressive, Grinchy forces of parenthood.

D turned 8 today! There was sloppy joes and ake and presents and a really excited younger brother. And then T pretty much played his new DS game most of the day.

Finally got the boys to bed. My brother ate the glitter from the reindeer food (in his beer) because I said the reason for it was so reindeer could have festive glittery poop. This tells you a lot about my brother.

Just hoping the boys sleep in a little. T always gets up at the asscrack of dawn, but he stays in his room for a long while. He's not a morning person.

Looks like Birmingham might get some snow sunday. And Baltimore still has a slight risk. I am now more worried about this airport's ability to deal with flurries rather than Baltimore getting whomped.

Hec, DH gets moved to the nice list for helping stripping Olivia's bed. Owen threw up again.

We're running out of clean sheets.

We put Owen on the couch and DH was watching Casino Royale. Owen asked what movie it was and DH said, "a James Bond movie." Owen said, "Is it Sean Connery James Bond?"

I don't know. He had weeks to get you a present.
