A Christmas Memory















"Peace! Elsa: OUT!" Ah, city schools. Love it! Elsa is wandering around the house banging into walls while reading. Love it! Thank you Mrs. LaRussa! Thank you School 46!

Last night cuddling in bed with Henry:
Jeremy: Henry, what do you love most about Mum?
Henry: Hugging her.
Ruth: What do you love most about Dad?
Henry: Hugging him.
Jeremy: What do you love most about Elsa?
Henry: Tackling her.

Elsa on Hans Christian Anderson's story, The Little Match Girl:
Dad, she's DEAD FROZEN at the end! I would have gone home for a spanking instead of ending up DEAD FROZEN!

Henry stared at Santa's half eaten cookie and the reindeer's half eaten carrot for a good 15 seconds on Christmas morning. I could just feel his little brain trying to figure it out.

Elsa and Henry had Christmas tacos for Christmas dinner. Ruth and I opted for crab cakes and lamb chops.

Henry asked to transform his transformer into a car 30 times. Ruth was a good sport, and spent a total of 45-60 minutes working on it throughout the weekend.

While throwing sticks into Lake Ontario on Christmas Day, Ruth got her new mitten snagged on one and tossed it 15 feet into the icy water. I took off boots and socks and retrieved it.
