Joy! The Ren and Stimpy kind of joy. Christmas is here. We had a very nice party last night with Lane and Catharine and their three young girls. There was a Barbie doll party in the living room and lots of action throughout the rest of the house. They weren't in the mood for dinner, so we had a Looney Toons DVD that provided some nice entertainment.
Mel and Carol showed up right as the food was ready. We had spiral cut ham, biscuts, stuffing with sausage, scalloped potatoes with Anaheim Chilis, garlic mashed potatoes, spring salad with Cayanne walnuts, lots of expensive yummy cheeses and crackers, stuffed grape leaves, cranberry bread, and an assortment of sparkling ciders for the nondrinkers. Mel and Carol tried out some of our wine and other fun beverages. I got a few sips.
Edith was given a cool pink sock monkey for Christmas from Auntie Carol. Even though it appeared that Edith actually appreciated the bow on the monkey more than the monkey, she eventually warmed up to the rest of her new toy.
Our neighbor Ellie showed up after she got off work and came by for a little visit also.
The evening wound down, nobody ate any cake or pie, and we eventually slipped off to bed. Very exhausted.
