Wednesday, December 24, 2008 ~ Christmas Eve

Jake:

'Decadence'

I believe this is the meaning of the word 'Voluptuous'. : D

'No, I'm not gonna move it'



This was how Choco laid all morning. No, he never knocked it over.


Anne:

Our Christmas Eve paella...w/lobster, clams, shrimp, chorizo, and paprika'ed chicken...(and another veggie one for Jake!). Including the new paella pan I bought for it (not to mention the saffron investment), it was one EXPENSIVE paella!!...but oh so worth it (we made enough to last three days, so that we wouldn't have to interrupt our playing on Christmas to cook!)...




. . . .

All is calm...

All is bright...



. . . .

...Round yon virgin (????!!), mother and child...



(OK...It's actually Dave's picture of Jake and I expressing our Joyful Anticipation in a do-si-do!)

. . . .

The children are nestled, all snug in their beds...

And Magic awaits their Presence in the wee hours of tomorrow's Christmas morn...


All is truly well.
