Cramming it in

Happy New Year!   I hope this finds you in a 'plumped & happy' post holiday state…

Like with corporate P&Ls, most cram in as much as possible into the end of year.  We've been a bit AWOL of late & who knows when the holiday cards will get done.   So I'd like to take a moment to explain what's been occupying us:


Some usual holiday fun…
Cookies:

Getting festive:

Driving to see family:
(this IS boy bonding now, right?!)


Some SF style holiday fun…
Santa's - waiting for their sleigh (J-train) to a Castro district parade

A neighbor who takes spirit & runs with it

(Tom & Jerry have built up to this Christmas spectacular over 30 years)


Some happy to get there…
Logan started a new job with Google mid-December


Some super happy to get into…
We got a new 'vintage' house!!!  
 (Moved in the same day Logan started his job)

Zoe showed her enthusiasm for the move…

And, once again, prioritized packing the important stuff



Some 'kind of wished it didn't' get here….
We are finally reunited with our container shipped from Kiev ~9 months ago

While I fantasized about the boat losing our container, we were happy to be reunited with 'Mr. Yellow'…
(A special call out to Jen & Amy for coming to help place prized objects like him!)


Some YEAH for visitors!
Once again loaded with the 'essentials' - e.g. sic-fi books, wine glasses & Lego's for the masses - we were ready for visitors!

Mom & Dad flew in & EJAM drove up for holiday festivities…including a Union Square scavenger hunt

The good news:  all 3 teams think they won...

The bad news:  the prize……
'Feliz Navidog' - awarded to Q, X & Z - does NOT stop singing :)

The Scheidelman's came for New Years…


All in all - a fun, but a tad exhausting - December.

But as my Dad found out….take a break in December & you might just miss something….



Here's to the holidays & the merry outshining the hairy!
