Bye-bye Christmas

I just needed an excuse to post some more photos before I packed away decorations (sniff! sniff!), which probably won't happen till next weekend because I do not feel well. Here are a few photos from the dining room.

What's this? How did that cow from Chik-Fil-A get in there? He's not even from the creche we have!

Wise men return to the east...

My son really loves this nativity set made out of banana grass that my sister got me a few years ago in Uganda. I always arrange it just so, and then he takes it upon himself to arrange his way with the whole joyous party led by Mary and Joseph heading back east. Who needs camels or strollers, for that matter, when you have wise men who will carry the baby?

we ain't got no car."

Christmas spidey boy

My son is not really into superheroes these days. In fact, his thing is sharks, fishing, bats, and Bakugan (definitely the hit toy this year). But when I saw these spiderman jammies, I had to get them. They are a riot. He looks like he is part bat. I asked him to pose, and neither of us could help from laughing. "I look absolutely ridiculous," he said. Maybe so, but how cute!

Shouldn't have had those cookies...

Well, here I am up in the middle of the night. I shouldn't have woofed down those chocolate chip cookies left over from Christmas dinner. Then there was that loooong nap in the middle of the day. I still don't like my layout, but I am working on it! Please feel free to comment and suggest tips for improvement. :)
