Christmas 2009

This was by far the best Christmas we've had in years. We had our family festivities on Christmas Eve since Mal had to work today. It was fun, completely stress free. No crazy drama! No wailing and gnashing of teeth. No screaming and crying. What a nice change. I plan to spend the day today playing with my new toys and watching hours and hours of Doctor Who. Mikey got me the first 4 seasons on DVD. Yay!

Christmas Party at the Nursing Home

The nursing home had a Christmas Party for the residents. It was a nice affair...they had snacks and music and mom seemed to enjoy it. She is doing okay these days, although her balance is getting worse. She tends to fall a lot when not supervised. She'll be 84 next month.

Me and Weg

My oldest friend in the world (since the 3rd grade), surprised us with a quick drop in visit. She was driving her neice all over the east coast on a college tour. Kelsey will graduate next May (same as my neice!) and will be heading off to college. It was nice to see them.

Thanksgiving 2009

The family gathered together for Thanksgiving dinner at K&W in Chapel Hill. Thanks to my bro, Taumi, for footing the bill.
