Merry New Year!

Bought the ripple chips this morning and the onion dip last weekend. If I bought both at the same time there would not be any left for new years...

Here is the link to December's photos including a nice set from Henry's nursery school holiday show. It was held at the Reading Memorial High School performance center - a huge stage for tiny performers.

His class sang two songs and joined in for the sing-along at the end of the show. They have started their own Flickr site. Its been great to get a peek into his school life.

Also the Christmas day photos are available in the above link.

Tonight we are breaking tradition and are getting Indian instead of Chinese for New Years. I suspect we will join the roving neighborhood celebrations for a little while, but I'd rather just spend some time at home (and the kids are at Nanni and Bubbies).

Oh, I should mention some of the hits and misses this year:
  • [hit]Henry now enjoys episodes of The Thunderbirds.
  • [miss] The Jupiter Jack hands-free phone accessory.
  • [hit] Zenni Optical inexpensive prescription glasses and a big selection of styles.
  • [hit] Wii - can't wait to hook it up to the wireless network, create a Mii, and send it into the e-world.
Finally time to head home - I'd give a [miss] to work for not closing early on both Christmas eve and new year's eve, but I think I am more grateful to have the job I have.

Merry New Year, happy 2010! [that's twenty-ten, not two thousand ten].

Happy New Year, papa Alan! I enjoyed the Christmas pics very much. Is the comment feature within the photos new? That's the first time I noticed how you'd called out features (such as the Elvis Pez collection, so cool, and the empty plate of Santa's cookies).

I think the Littlest Storm Trooper will be a nice addition to your family's holiday traditions. Very cute! I wonder if next year you'll have to roust the boys out of bed or if they'll be waking you up instead?

May I suggest adding Terry Pratchett to Po Bronson, Jasper Fford and YMOYL on your profile reading list?

All the best in twenty-ten to you and your wonderful family, bro!

Love,

Diane
