Season's eatings

I had a very carbo-licious Christmas, stuffed with cookies I made, pastries my mom made (and I finally learned how to make them myself) and carb-heavy Filipino food. It hurt so good. Last night after dinner I got up from the table and had to lay down. STUFFED! Thankfully the scale isn't showing too much damage.

I got to spend time with my adorable nephew. He's 17 months old and cracks me up. His personality continues to emerge. Unfortunately I don't see him enough for him to really remember me yet, but I got a kick out of watching him interact with "Grandma." We'd tell him to "go get Grandma," and he'd run full-speed to her when she least expected it, throwing his arms around her legs while she did the dishes. They both laughed and laughed.

Is he not adorable?

In addition to spending time with wonderful friends and family, I received some very thoughtful gifts this year, including a plush new bathrobe, a Bluetooth headset, gift certificates for Victoria's Secret, Target, Amazon and Ticketmaster, a Wee Ninja (and Brent got the Son of Moustachio), among the other gifts I've previously mentioned.

I hope everyone had a relaxing holiday!

"I added food coloring because it's a holiday. But it turned black, because I added all the food coloring I had. Then I ate this butter straight out of the tub, because it tastes good. There's a reason behind everything." - Meatwad, Aqua Teen Hunger Force

  2. Kids make the holidays sooooo much fun. I love watching my cousin (age 6) boss my hyper active dog around like she's queen and he's her court jester. It's absolutely so funny. Your nephew's a cutie. Glad you had such a Merry and Carb-o-licious Christmas! Thanks to my pregnancy-induced stomach stapling, I think I faired pretty well actually.
