02/03/2010: "Pictures, quickly"

Hey, it's only the first week of February. I guess I should get around to posting a couple of Christmas pictures right? And then I can go take down my Christmas tree or something.

(Just kidding. I take down the tree on New Year's Day, religiously. And like the heathen I am, this year I waited until the day after New Year's Day. It was so exhausting that only now am I getting around to Christmas pictures. That's my story. And that's all I'm gonna say.)

Anyway.

Dessa in her Christmas finery in front of our fireplace:

She got an easel and paints from Santa and Grandma, respectively (how Grandma knew exactly what Santa was bringing and thus paired her gifts accordingly is one of the great grandmotherly mysteries of our time!) Here's our budding Picasso:



And just in case you were thinking I exaggerated about the multitudes of plush bedtime friends? This one was taken about 15 minutes ago as I was putting Dess to sleep. Can you find her amongst the rabble? (And yes, she does sleep in that direction. A few weeks ago she decided that was the way to sleep and no amount of cajoling will convince her to put her head on the pillow at the headboard. We let it go. Pick your battles and all that.)



More soonest. For now, I need to go work out.
