Merry Christmas Everybody!

toast!

So if this video seems a little random, you're right. We have a thing about toast.

This clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_aHkrjPo7A is a favorite at our house. Never ceases to crack me up! But seriously, watch it, and then Gen's commentary on toast makes more sense.....

Genevieve explains the Christmas nativity

Heavy Lifting required...

So today I was in a store and went to pick up my purchase--in a box that weighed about 40 lbs. (I looked later.) A nice, concerned woman had an absolute fit that my obviously pregnant self was about to pick it up, and I told her, I'm fine, I'm cleared to lift this much.
So she asked me: "Do you have a job that requires you to lift things?"
(I guess she thought I was making this up rather than having actually discussed lifting with my dr...)
To which I replied, "Actually, yes I do. My job is raising my 2-year-old."

(She still went to my car with me. Which is very nice, really.)

Picture with Santa

We took Genevieve to see Santa tonight at the mall. She was quite excited until she actually saw him.... So Robert and I ended up in the picture with her, and it really captures the scope and drama of the thing nicely, I think! (I should add that Santa was very, very nice).

After we got home, we were putting up the Christmas tree, and Robert asked her if she saw Santa today. She said "umm-hmmm." So then he asked if she liked Santa, to which she replied with an adamant "No. I don't like him." Sorry about that, Santa.... maybe next year!
