Our Christmas dinner went really well. I bought turkey too large for anyone’s good, but Chris baked it to perfection on first try. My mom arrived the day before Christmas and is staying for a week and Chris’ clan got here around 2. They helped finish up the meal so it was a really good team effort. I really enjoyed having the dinner here. Usually we dine and run because we don’t like driving back to Ottawa late, but since we were home, there was no rush and the whole thing lasted much longer than usual.

Ding!

Group picture (Carol’s at the camera) – Trevor had just woken up which is why he is wearing his pajamas and not his “formal” suit that we bought for taking Christmas pictures in.

I got a cell phone which I am still figuring out how to use. I am not promising that I will carry it around with me, but I will have it with me occasionally. Trevor got his weight worth of Megablocks. He still prefers to chew on our portable phone. He also got a “classic” rotary phone toy that we hope will replace our regular phone in his affections.
