In the morning

Here is Patrick with his favorite new toy and my fabulous slippers. Later, mom and I tortured Patrick by making him watch episodes of one of our favorite BBC mystery shows: Rosemary and Thyme. What a great day.

Holiday Tradition

Cheryll started a great new tradition of giving Owen a holiday book after dinner and having us all take turns reading it to him. It was hilarious because all references to Christmas became Hanukkah on my turn and Kwanzaa on Grandpa's turn. We were very multicultural!

Dinner

Here we are enjoying our dinner. Owen didn't quite make in through the whole thing, but isn't he cute!

Holiday House

If you haven't seen it lately, I thought I would post some pictures of my parents holiday extravaganza - yes, my dad puts up all those decorations and more.

Cooks at work

Here we are in the kitchen. For Hanukkah, Patrick bought me a professional knife skills class at a cooking school nearby. I can't wait to chop like the chefs on Food TV!

Sunday

Sunday, Patrick and Garrett went to the 49er game on the Party bus. The 49ers won and Patrick said it was a great example of really bad football. I told them to take picture, but they forgot. Typical! Here is a picture of Patrick's incredulous face later that evening. Garrett went our to get a pizza and this is what it looked like when he brought it in. We are still not sure what happened.
