This year we had a wonderful Christmas up in Sebastopol with my parents, Chris, Kim, and Sander. It was so much fun to spend 3 days all together. Sander changes the dynamic and we all spent a lot of time watching him to see what he would do next. It makes you wonder what we all did before Sander. Oh wait, sleep on the coach while pretending to watch a movie! My mom has hurt her knee (something about a meniscus), so she was on crutches. Not fun for her at all. But it allowed for the rest of us to spoil her a bit and do all to the planning, shopping, cleaning, cooking, etc. I think I was moving the entire time but I also had a blast doing it! Sven went to work on Tues morning on the bus and Chris left that afternoon to head home and work, which left the rest of us in Sebastopol to hang-out. It was great to spend more time with Kim and Sander. That night we had bad wind and the lights went out which causes much havoc when there is a baby around. But all worked out just fine when the lights (heat) came back on not long later. I don't think Kim got much sleep but if she did that would be weird. Kim and Sander went home on Wed and I hung around with my parents on Thurs and Fri. On Friday evening they drove me back to the city and we met up with Sven and had a great Italian dinner just down the street. Merry Christmas everyone!
