Christmas 2009

I'm not in a writing mood (which could also explain why I haven't started writing all of my Christmas Thank You notes), so the following is a rare blog post from my husband.

Christmas
came early for my wife - we were getting ready on Christmas Eve to meet family in the Palm Desert and... surprise! I was standing there with her new road bike - replete with a garland and a bow! She even took it out for a test ride before we headed out...





Our little 'reindeers' were happy to get to Bob Bob's (which they consider their desert vacation home). This year, we celebrated Christmas Eve with Uncle Bob, Aunt Alice, Bob Bob, Aunt Peggy and my cousin Cameron. We had a delicious casserole, great salad and good conversation.



The next day, Santa had delivered many presents and Cameron enjoyed a few in the morning. By afternoon, we picked up Mom and Dad from the airport and the gift exchange ensued. The pups tore up loose paper and bows were adorned in fashionable style. Princess Juliet, my parents' Yorkie, found her spot and enjoyed Christmas from many a warm and inviting lap.

Christmas evening we went to Uncle Bob and Aunt Alice's house for dinner and challenging games. The evening started with drinks and appetizers and Christmas trivia, we shared fine food and company and a fun family rivalry began with a Miller-bingo game. We were happy to have Lydia and her new husband Scott with us all the way from Sacramento. We all behaved pretty well and didn't pull his leg with too many pretend 'family traditions'!!!




Another picture perfect ending to a beautiful day in Palm Desert.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
