Post Christmas

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas.
We sure did.
We celebrated with my family the Saturday
BEFORE Christmas because we all go
to our in-laws for Christmas.
Because I neglected to charge my camera battery,
here is the only pic I got - but it's a good one.
That is my ADORABLE nephew Carter.
He's 10 months old and just the best!
AND that is my MOM! She's doing great!

Christmas Eve day, Dylan and I ran around town doing
last minute shopping and decided to have breakfast
at Henry's, our local greasy spoon.

As we were being seated....I saw it first....and made sure I
wouldn't be facing it. What was it you ask?
Looked like THING to me.

.....shudder...........
Come one, would you want to eat with that mess
right in front of you?
No.
So I did what any caring mother would do....
I made my kid face it.

This was his view:

This was my view:


He thanked me by shooting his straw wrapper at me.

Christmas morning was great!
Check out these pics of Dylan getting his "favorite" gift - a Mac Book



His reaction was MY favorite Christmas gift.
