(Yea...that's right, I said Christmas...sue me...)

Olivia made such a haul this Christmas, I don't even know where to begin, suffice it say, she's either going to be a Chef, a concert pianist, or a BMX bike pro when she grows up...or a very good stay at home mom who likes to dress up like a butterfly princess... ;)

I made out pretty good as well in my mind, but seeing Olivia open her presents was clearly the highlight of holiday. Something even my new Meatloaf CD can't beat!

I'm looking at becoming an actual coffee snob as well, as the real surprise gift his year for me was a French Press coffee maker. I've used it once and it really does produce a great cup of coffee even though I blew the ratio of water to grounds...but I'll get it right soon enough. (Needless to say, I didn't need that much sleep after using it!)

Another surprise was the fact that I won the championship game in my fantasy football league! Its my third year participating and the first year I was dead last, last year I was in the championship game but wound up second. This year, I'm the champ...funny...I don't feel like I just won a superbowl, nor am I going to Disneyland...

Carrie finally wrapped up her collection of Friends episodes and now has the entire series on DVD thanks to yours truly, plus she's going to smell really nice with her favorite perfume and she'll be sipping coffee in an ultra-cool coffee mug that she'd been lookin' at. Its not exaclty flashy jewelry but we decided early in the season that this was going to be Olivia's Christmas...and was it ever!

Anyway, I hope everyone had a great Christmas! (I said it again, but just so I don't leave anyone out: Happy Hannakuh, Happy Kwanza and Happy Festivus!) If I missed anything/anyone...*ahem* Happy Holidays....*sheesh*
