I was trying to blog one a week. Obviously, that hasn't happened. I have really good excuses though. I was going to write on 12/7 but our Christmas tree fell over and squashed me as I was getting Elise out of the way. After that, I was tired (mental swearing fatigue) and sore (trees hurt). Then I was going to post on 12/14 but a bunch of my girlfriends (and their kids) came over and I played instead. I have no excuse but laziness for 12/21 and I was in the city (NYC) with Jared, Elise, and our friend Melissa yesterday. So there you have my litany of excuses.
Yesterday was great. Elise LOVES the city. She played in park, chased pidgeons, ate italian pastries, afghan food, and hotdogs. We tried some bean curd something or other in Chinatown. It tasted good but I couldn't get past the texture. I had the same problem with escargot. Blech. Melissa is a city aficianado and took us around some of the neighborhoods we hadn't been to before. It was nice to see something new.
My mom flew in to town last night too. Tonight we'll officially begin our After-Christmas Christmas celebration. Most of our christmas presents are still under the Christmas tree. Some in their original wrapping paper, none with their original bows, everything looking a little "loved". It part of the toddler's home Christmas charm. Another feature of the charm is the tree which has no ornaments on the botton 2-3 feet of the tree.
I hope everyone had or is having a Merry Christmas. Our love to everyone. Happy holidays.
Better Late than Never
