New Year blah blah blah

So I took the last two weeks off of work because 1)No one was there and 2)I had the vacation so it's a little slower than a normal Monday for me to get into the swing of things. Other than that it's work as usual.

Had a good christmas. My stepfather made my daughter a toybox. Had her name on it and a cute little phrase to the extent of "May this store your treasures" Mom told me he spent a long time trying to think of a phrase to put on it. One he loved, but didn't put on the box, was "If you don't put your toys in here, they'll run away." I love that one, but I think my daughter, at least in early years, would take it literally and cry if they all didn't fit.

She enjoyed her second Christmas. Mostly opening gifts and playing with the boxes. She also was genuinely thrilled to open a present and find "A BOX!" the toy inside was just gravy.

New Years was low-key. Jimmie & Brandon were in town, so we wandered to my brotehrs and played the Wii for most of the night (Wii Music & Mario Kart).

For Sara's birthday I gave her Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog, and apparently that was THE gift for the year. I've watched it now like 4 times, (not with commentary, or Commentary, the Musical however) with promise of more on the way.

Nora's birthday is coming up soon. Trying to make it low-key, but it's hard to do with her family. Not that we're loud and obnoxious... well we are, but i mean there's just a decent amount of family we want to come over and say Hi.
