Solomon longing to pull off some ornaments.
Zoe posing.. where on earth could she have learned this vital skill?
Solomon in his monkey PJs.So Christmas has come and gone. We did xmas eve with my parents and then drove up to Lawrence on Christmas day to hang out with Alex's family. It was nice. We now have more toys than ever in our house. It's just a constant mess. I think solomon's favorite toys include Elmo's kitchen, pressing the button on the Crayola marker thing, the piano and the Thomas the Train car thing. However, he plays with almost everything for at least a few minutes a day. Some of the toys are a bit old for him right now, but that's okay. The funniest moment of Christmas day was when I opened a card from Alex's mom that contained money for his college fund. After opening the envelope, I noticed a postcard which had two women talking on the phone pictured. I thought that was odd.. so I turned it over and noticed that she had accidentally placed a "remember your pap smear" card/cervical cancer awareness card in the Christmas card. I announced this and everyone started cracking up. It's just an odd thing to find in a little boy's christmas card. She had also patched up a few holes in some of the Christmas wrapping with return address labels. Hmmm.. still haven't figured that one out completely. I always tell people that this will all be in a book someday. While in Lawrence, we went to see a house where the family had computerized their Christmas lights to match a series of songs. YOu could tune your radio into a station and listen. It took a while, but it was pretty cool. I told Alex to get started on ideas for our display for next year! Then, we laughed, knowing he loathes putting up lights so it's doubtful that it will ever happen.
I got lots of good clothes from my family and a few fun electronics from Alex.. such as an iPhone and a bluetooth headset. He also got me the Roomba vacuum cleaner thing. I love it. I watched it for about 30 minutes the first time it ran. Pretty cool.
My next mission is to get all of the Christmas decor down. I usually leave it up until Jan. 1, but I'm sick of it so I think it will come down tomorrow.
I'm listening to the KU game b/c it's on ESPNU, a channel we don't have.. bummer.
Tomorrow, is NYE. We have some plans for early on, but i'm sure we'll end up at our bar by midnight. Have New Year everyone!

Hey Kel--
The return address patching sounds like something Enid would do. LOL! We got that Roomba vacuum a few years ago and love it. We bought one for my Dad. I was cracking up about the pap smear card...still am. Love the i-phone! Happy New Year! Eli and Keenan both have the monkey pj's, I think I want a pair for myself. Miss you!
Um, love the photo of Zoe! That is hilarious. She learns fast...speaking of things that remind me of Kelly, I saw Cleo do some leg kicks the other day. My Mom said that it reminded me of her, but it reminded me more of Auntie Kelly! :)
Ooops, I reread my post and it should have said:
"My mom said that it reminded HER of ME..."
Sorry for all the comments. I am super disorganized tonight. Anyway, loved the story about the pap smear postcard. That is amazing and the other story about patching holes with the gift tags is also hilarious! Oh, Andy took Gus to see that house in Lawrence and he loved it!
Holy Moly, I am soooo behind reading your blog! The pics are always cute. I love your caption under Zoe. :) Although she looks rather acrobatic, tangled-looking like that.
