Tanya and the girls were able to enjoy a few days (and nights) of extra sunshine and lounging by the pool after I returned home.
Rumor has it there was quite the party going on for their New Years Eve. Alexia was asleep by midnight while Tanya and Mikayla rang in the new year by watching the Discovery Health channel.
Eric celebrated in his own fashion by watching the Space Needle fireworks (on TV) while archiving the family & hiking photos from 2008. Yep... quite the partying bachelor lifestyle I always dreamed about.
We were able to enjoy a nice dinner at Black Angus on the way home from the airport with Kari & her family. The kids had their own table and the grown-ups had their own table. We tried to make the kids wash dishes since they didn't bring any money... but that didn't work.
Now that everyone is back home, we've been 'undecorating' the Christmas decor, unpacking luggage, finding places for Christmas presents and the kids have been developing their Wii skills.
We have a number of BREAKING NEWS stories to share with you from today:
1) She's hip. She's cool. She's All That! Tanya is now on Facebook! Look her up... she loves friends!
2) Alexia finally lost her other front tooth.
Now the tooth fairy has to make a run to the cash machine.
3)My book finally arrived! The FedEx tracking indicates that it has been in Burlington since December 24th... and has been on the delivery truck three times. The Wednesday status states this: "Local Weather Delay. Delivery Attempted". It seems that "Darkness" qualifies as a weather delay at FedEx.
FWIW, I am really happy with how it turned out and (other than the slow delivery) highly recommend www.blurb.com for any similar projects you may be considering.
Happy New Year to you, Constant Readers!
