bearshortyMerry Christmas to all who celebrate it!
Bear and I made our annual Christmas breakfast. He made pancakes and bacon while I made scrambled eggs and turkey sausage links. As we also cleaned everything up after the breakfast.
Then I went to church with Bear. I always see it as a social experiment and people observance and say the Shema prayer too. But it was nice and festive.
Bear has a little flip cam and we spent some time filming the cats playing together and licking each other.
Just a banana for lunch – so full from all the food.
Then nursing home to visit Bear’s Grandmother and celebrate with her. Bear’s parents and sister were there too. His grandma’s sister is there too now and her daughter and husband also came up. So it was a pretty full house as we celebrated in the library. The cat video provided great entertainment and a way to talk to strange relatives. I also gave my present to his grandma.
Then home, appetizers and opening presents and then a holiday dinner.
For some reason, the titles from Battlestar CDs wouldn’t carry over when I was downloading them into the iTunes – I had to write everything up by hand – a mild annoyance. But the music is wonderful. Now I have all four seasons of it. Speaking of new things:
Christmas loot (best part – 4 books):
1. Pocket watch (from Bear – really awesome. I keep pretending to be a Time Lord)
2. “Stardust” by Neil Gaiman (Bear)
3. “The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak (Bear’s Mom)
4. “The Fry Chronicles” by Stephen Fry (John) – really looking forward to this book
5. “Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters” by Jane Austen and Ben H. Winter (Laurie)
6. Battlestar Galactica CD Season 3 (John)
7. Battlestar Galactica CD Season 4 (Bear’s Dad)
8. neon blue scarf (Bear’s Mom – handmade)
9. white sweater (Bear’s Mom – I need a large size on it)
10. notepad set from Michaels (Carrie – Bear’s sister)
11. candle, bath ball and Spa socks (Carrie)
12. a mug (Carrie) and a Christmas mug with hot chocolate (Laurie)
13. snacks (Carrie)
