Not a creature was stirring...
What is going on here? 7:46 on Christmas day, and it's just me and the fish sitting in the living room waiting for people to wake up. I better enjoy this now, 'cause I suspect it isn't going to happen again this way for about, oh, 12 years. Oh, no, if I factor in #2 it'll be 15 years.
Truth be told, we had a hint of an asthma night last night, and so I'm glad Jonas is getting some extra sleep. A judicious mix of decongestant, sips of water, and some time on Dad's chest lulled him off to sleep. Sam and I both slept lightly worrying about more coughing, but he did pretty well.
We also stayed up late, it must be said. We had a fabulous Christmas Eve last night with Pop, Mimi, Emma, and Aunt Judith. Poor Judith had an incredibly protracted train ride in, complete with screaming baby for many hours. In the end, she helped the mom comfort the poor kiddo, but the trip still took *way* too long. She told the story with great equanimity, and we are extremely glad she came to see us!
We all pitched in to make a fantastic roasted veggie lasagna, and had a roaring fire, with great conversation and wonderful presents all around. Judith brought the ornaments which are her trademark; some witty, some beautiful, all an excellent addition to our collections. Emma and Jon both contributed some excellent beads to the event, and Jonas was overjoyed by his Star Wars figures (Obi-Wan and R2D2) and new sled. There was also a great deal of kitchen equipment exchanged, most of which we should have opened before dinner! Well, it will be pressed into service soon enough.
So I better get some pics from Dad to spice up my words. More later when the crowds rouse themselves.
