Such a flurry of xmas day posts, crowds of wonderful peeps fill my head.
Me, I was away from the computer all day yesterday; E and I went over to N&C's in the late a.m. The kids were very impatient to get to the second round of present opening, ours to them and theirs to us, and found it hard to wait for E&N to make themselves some coffee. Except Teo, who was very involved in his new book on stop motion animation. (He ended up making several figures, setting up a little studio and making two short films by the end of the day, which we watched on the computer; I love that kid, he sooo my godson.)
We had a splendid antipasto lunch which included fresh handpacked tuna from C's brother and then all the usual traditional antipasto suspects. Then E, N, and I headed off to see Sherlock Holmes, which was AWESOME, seriously, AWESOME. Then back to the house, for some lolling about with the kids, dogs, and cats before a dinner of duck with duck sauce, pork loin, asparagus, and mashed potatoes, with a pesto pasta side starter for the kids. Then a magnificent steamed chocolate pudding with fresh whipped cream. Then I read The Lump of Coal by Lemony Snickets aloud and shortly thereafter E & I hied it back home to give my kitties their very late dinner.
So, you know, it was lovely and sweet, and fun and full of laughter and love, as it should be.
Love to all of you! You all rock.
