Christmas Morning!
I was worried because we thought we had lost the pictures from Christmas morning…but Steve was able to recover them using some recovery software! This is one of my favorites!
Christmas Eve
This is Scout on her “big” present from her Sweetie and Papa!

Merry Christmas Eve!!!
Last night Steve put together Scout’s big present from Santa. (We had Santa drop it off early so that we could get it set up by Christmas morning) It didn’t take nearly as long as we anticipated…but now Scout isn’t allowed downstairs until tomorrow. I have a few little errands to run today and one more thing to pick up for Steve. Tonight we will have Christmas with Mom and Dad at their house and then Santa comes tomorrow morning!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait to see Scout’s reaction to everything. last year she wasn’t really old enough to get excited about everything. I still don’t know that she understands Santa…but she DOES understand presents. I will pop in later tonight to report on the evenings festivities!
Have a very Merry Christmas Eve!!!
That’s it … Christmas is ruined!
I know…I get carried away. No Christmas isn’t really ruined (not completely). I was in the car today thinking about how much I love Christmas music and then it occurred to me that I had not heard the “Christmas Shoes” song. I actually did a little happy wiggle in my driver’s seat when I realized that I had not heard that damn song. Some of you may remember my previous post about this song. Nothing has changed! I still hate it and I am still going to hell.
Anyway, back to Christmas being ruined….
It took about 5 minutes for the radio gods to mock me … I had done the happy wiggle and BAM! The song comes on the radio! I have no one to blame but myself. I should know better.
looking for Daddy
Scout has been looking for Steve. I can usually satisfy her with “Daddy is at work.” This morning, however, that was not an acceptable answer.
Scout : Daddy?
Me : Daddy is at work.
Scout : No
Me : (surprised) Yes. Daddy is at work.
Scout : No! Daddy? (screaming now ) DADDY!!!!!
Me : Scout, Daddy is at work he isn’t here.
Scout: DADDY!!! (roaming around the house) DADDY! DADDY!
Me : Do you want to call daddy?
Scout : yes
Me: ok
So we call Steve and she gets on the phone with him and says nothing. Typical.
I guess she will be excited to see him tomorrow. She misses him.
He makes it so easy…
Another reason to hate Steve.
Tonight he sees Wicked on Broadway.

Dear Spear’s Family,
Please quit reproducing. So far you don’t have a great track record with parenting and sanity.

Dear Maroon Sedan Driver,
Christmas is a wonderful time of year and I am so glad to see you appreciating it’s majesty! It might, however, be wise not to slam on your breaks EVERY time you pass a house with lights. This could be detrimental in so many ways. You could give yourself whiplash (or your lovely wife…she did appear quite frail), give others the impression that you are drunk or find my SUV up your ass. Merry Christmas!
Yours truly,

Dear Santa Claus,
As you know, Steve is in New York. Please make sure he gets home in time for Christmas. There are many many pieces to that kitchen you sent and I don’t plan on putting it together. If for some reason Steve is not here to assemble said kitchen…I expect you to be here at 5pm (promptly) on Christmas Eve. If you try to give me your conflict crap… I will hunt you down. Don’t mess with me Claus. Merry Christmas!
Yours truly,
Aardvark
Dear Makers of Flintstone’s Vitamins,
Wow! Aren’t you busy. I can’t believe that you have managed to come up with at least 7 different varieties of vitamins. You have outdone yourself. Complete, extra calcium, extra iron, original, for toddlers, gummy (and it’s many incarnations), etc…
I can’t imagine that 4 year olds really need that kind of choice but good for you for giving it to them.
Yours truly,
Aardvark
Dear Holiday Shoppers,
Really? Is that necessary? You know who you are.

Why we should hate Steve…
ok! No one should really hate Steve but we can all be bitter about his week! Steve leaves tomorrow to go to NYC. If that wasn’t cool enough the week before Christmas…he is staying at Rockefeller Center AND he has a room with a view of the tree!!!! I know it is cold there and crazy..but DAMN! I want to go
