I made a full recovery from my stomach flu for Christmas morning (it was a chicken noodle Christmas Eve). Just in the nick of time as well. Elsie came down to a new dollhouse "I can't believe this Dad it is so amazing! Santa just left this here for me?" and Henry got four new cars that he has played with nonstop. It's funny, Elsa likes to dress up her polly pocket dolls while Henry makes car sounds and crashes them into walls. Are we encouraging stereotypical gender roles? They do see that Ruth likes to bake and I like to cure and smoke meat. But Ruth goes to boot camp twice a week at 6AM and I make homemade jam in the summer!
Maybe the H-Man will be the first openly gay USC Heisman trophy-winning quarterback...
Other holiday highlights:
Getting my mojo back on the squash court
Taking Elsie to see Fantastic Mr. Fox at the Cinema
Henry hugs (he's really into Dad right now)
Pork roast with glazed turnips and carrots on Christmas Day
Scotch from Santa
A phone chat with Charles
Badgers over the U!
Bears over the Vikings on MNF!
Cribbage games with Ruth
Hearing Henry say Santa (SIN-duh!) - just like he said LIN-da last summer in Wisco...
