Emmett won't take his tuxedo off. He got the shirt and tie and cumerbund from FiL and he's been mister dapper ever since.
Also after our sad Thanksgiving feast (where we addressed the fact that he hates: turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy and only likes the pie), FiL made prime rib for everybody (except JZ who made a vegetarian lasagna for herself, brother and Aunt) and it was delicious and super abundant. (I've got a huge chunk of roast beast in the fridge.)
Emmett declares it not only the best Christmas ever, but the best day ever. FiL even happened upon serving Emmett's favorite pie (lemon meringue) for dessert.
Matilda only got about 40 minutes of nap today instead of her usual 2+ hours. She started to melt down from that plus all the excitement and extra people wanting to interact with her. So she sniveled and cried for an hour then rallied and got happy and bouncy for no particular reason. A Christmas miracle! Sort of.
EM was with us, as was megan walker and both had very good times.
My little Hanukkah miracle was actually reading some posts, rather than skipping. I had such a good time, reading about everybody's Thursdays. Thank you so much for sharing (especially the pictures, but of course, not just them!).
Oh, and, according to the Buffista Calendar, the 26th of December is almost just as much of a holiday, since it's the birthday of not only Jesse H, but also of Theodosia (and even of Rayne, too - I have no idea when she last posted).
Happy birthday, Jesse! Happy birthday, Theo! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
Nilly! Hugs to you, my sweet.
And Happy Birthday to Jesse and Theo!
Jesse and Theo, many wonderful birthday wishes.
Happy birthday Jesse! Happy birthday, Theo!
Why isn't the coffee brewing faster?
Thank you all for the good wishes, and special Hippo Birdies for my birthday Twins.
I'm in my Mom's kitchen sitting in front of the big picture window and watching several flights of geese taking off from the pond. Yesterday, I drove one of her friends to a CVS which was open on Xmas, so I got to see one of the farms where they evidently spend their days. There must have been, I kid you not, 500 geese in that field. I'm going back today with my camera.
Happy Birthday, Jesse & Theo!
