A New Year

Well, almost a new year. 13.5 hours left in this year. 2005 has to be better than 2004 was. There's not much that could make it worse.

Christmas was fun. The GameCube is a huge hit, and the treasure hunt was fun. I had to help him out a lot on that. One of the clues was "Take a slow boat to China." He was supposed to go to the china cabinet. He was actually looking inside the cabinet (got there with my help - we played "Hot and Cold"), muttering "China, china, huh?" Then all of a sudden it hit him, "Oh! CHIna." He was being serious. It was too funny. He went out to the shed (one of the clues) and was disappointed because he thought it was going to be in there. It wasn't. Finally, he got the key to the trunk of my car and went out and got it. Of course the first words out of his mouth were slightly disappointing "Oh, Honey. You spent too much." Not the reaction I was expecting.

Christmas dinner was at his parent's house. All of the kids were there (there are 15 people in the immediate family, with Jeff's parents, sibs, their spouses, and kids.) It can get crazy, but it's fun. The top of my right foot is turning pretty colors, though. Jeff tried (accidentally) to close it in the recliner. That hurt!

I wish all of you a happy and prosperous new year! Bring on 2005. I'm done with 2004!
