Christmas Scenes 2006

Yes, it is true, I had to work on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, which is why all of my secular celebrating took place Christmas evening, and on the 26th.

Much thanks to Viv & her mom for allowing me to eat at their house for Christmas dinner. Also thanks to Robin for allowing me to host a party for her.

So without further ado, on to the photographs and clever captions. First up, Christmas dinner and gift exchange at Viv's parents.

Vivian gets her first gift, a wedding ring from Paul Bunyan.


*singing* ... we three cheese of orient are, traveling to Viv's tummy so far ...

1. 2.
3. 4.
milk chocolate covered coffee beans - 30%
dark chocolate espresso beans - 30%
Heath toffee crunch bites - 30%
Reese's peanut butter bites - 10%
not being able to tell which is which before biting in to them - priceless
(edit) - this was not as bad as the sequence makes it look.


Hugh never misses an episode of The Office. Then again, neither does Venche.


I don't see the resemblance.


Venche and Onionboy show off their loot.


Viv might have had just a bit too much of whatever that is to drink.


Lights! Camera! Action! My hair has such full body!


The next day we had a Christmas Party for the recently returned RockinRobin.


And now, just back from her whirlwind tour of 22 eastern states...


Tim says "Enough pictures of my wife, I want more of me!"


What could be slower than the OnionBoy opening a gift?


Only one of these two behaved themselves during the evening.


Melissa wonders if this will go with her too-cool-for-words boots


Viv shows off her custom designed t-shirt that says "i am the cheese queen"


She isn't smiling because of the gift, she is smiling because according to RockinRobin math, she only has eleven more days of being pregnant.


Like every holiday, someone overdoes it and is too tired to drive themselves home, so they have to put up with the dual threats of sleeping on the couch, and the camera!
