Road Weary

December26

Long day on the road today but we are finally home.  We will all be quite happy to sleep in our own beds tonight.  We had a lovely holiday and a lovely visit with friends and family.  A few photos to tide everyone over – more tomorrow.

An older man who lives about 2 blocks from my step-mother starts decorating in September.  I believe you might be able to see his yard from space.  Not only does he decorate, he then sits outside in a sleigh in the evenings dressed as Santa.  He gives out candy canes and accepts letters for Santa.  He even has a white board where he lets kids write their names if they should be on the “nice” list.

My step-mom has one of those singing Hallmark things with a couple of penguins and a snowman.  Sabrina was obsessed with it and made everyone press the button for her a dozen times.

Uncle Mikey spent the day feeding Sabrina all kinds of sugar and other crap.  The thing she liked best?  Eating a lemon – didn’t even make the sour face.  Go figure.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.  I’m going to bed.  I haven’t slept more than 4 hours at one time since we left here last week.

    My sister used to eat lemons when she was a kid. She’d peel and section it like an orange. She was a thumbsucker and my dad and his ex had tried putting lemon juice (amongst other things) on her thumb to get her to stop, and she ended up liking it. It stripped every bit of enamel off her teeth.

    We have a snowman Hallmark singing thing. Reese too is obsessed, only he learned how to push the button himself. I was thinking about doing a drinking game, where every time he turns it on I drink. I’d be drunk by 9 am!!

    My oldest loved lemons too. Not sure why………

    Hope you get some sleep!!

    Must be a kid thing. Matthew LOVES lemon’s. YUCK.

    Glad you had a great holiday. I am sure having that adorable baby helped with the changes.
