Table Pictures

 I took exactly one picture at Christmas. 

My table.

 Then we arrived in Breckenridge to no snow.  

So here's the table yesterday afternoon.

And here it is this morning after some snow.

5 and 6

 Number 5 and 6 have arrived. 

Christmas Pig and Chicks

 We went with Kyle to see Iris and check out his new baby chicks. 

The new baby chicks are super cute.

And Iris is looking good!

Here she goes off to get weighed...she's 186 pounds. 

Christmas Possum

 We got in from NYC on Sunday after:

our flight being cancelled, getting on another flight, not having one of our bags make it to Houston, and my view from the window before take-off looking like this.

It was definitely a big day, and we were getting ready for bed when I heard Chloe's possum bark.  I screamed at Kyle to go get her, and instead of Kyle walking in the house with Chloe, this was going on. 

Chloe is just a blur in this picture because she was jumping and still trying to get the possum.

Apparently, Chloe ran the possum up the tree, but when Kyle came to get her, she sprung into action and grabbed it off the tree with her mouth and the few teeth she has left. 

It immediately played possum, so Kyle just picked it up.

Kyle had to bring the possum in the house to get Chloe to come inside, and then the possum was quickly returned to the tree to continue on with his evening plans.

Trying to Catch Up Again

 I was already not caught up, so of course, I tagged along with Jason to NYC, to get even farther behind in getting ready to make Christmas "magical". 

Jason had a work thing he had to go to, and then here's all the other things we did:

We went and got our picture made at Fox News (twice).  And yes, I'm wearing 2 coats.

We went to see Chess, and it was amazing. Jason perked way up when a girl did a sliding split across the stage.

We also saw The Play That Goes Wrong and we were crying laughing it was so funny.

Speaking of crying, I started crying at lunch because this meal (and the restaurant) made me feel like we were sitting back in Beijing.

Other meals did not make me cry

We saw the tree (and it's really big)

And we saw the Macy's windows' displays (which are not as big as you'd think they'd be)

And we saw Uncle Cole who also was in town

I had a Christmas party at our house last night, and I have one tonight and one tomorrow, so I'm still not going to be caught up!

Catching Up (Sort of)

 It seems I can't get caught up with life these days! Jason and I went on a cruise for a week right after Thanksgiving and I'm just behind on everything.  

We had a fabulous time, but I only have 3 pictures to show for the entire week.  I guess I was too busy stuffing my face and not moving off the lounge chair to take any pictures! 

Here's every picture I have.
