We had an eventful, yet good Christmas… Drove down to see OD, her hubby and the grands. I think everything begins to blur together after your seventh present…

OD!

We came home shortly after YsD fell off the kid’s new pogo stick and sprained her ankle. When I say ’sprained’, I mean the sucker is swollen 3 times its normal size and turning colors. She declined a trip to the ER so we went out and bought her some crutches… though I wouldn’t let her get off the couch. RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.

Bree thought it was all about her, and loved every moment of opening her gifts. Note the evil glow in her eyes when she finds that her present is a pink ball; she loves pink and loves balls. The beast is happy.

She of course had other gifts, and unwrapping them was a breeze after the ball!

Arthur opened his Mad Gringo shirt, which he loves -thanks to everyone who voted!- and put the bag on his head…. which cued a response in Bree…!

Hope everyone had a wonderful day and got what they wanted from St. Nick! I’m going to go take my tree down before all the needles fall off!
