New Year's Eve

At the end of the year, we'll see if BH can stay up with us to usher in the New Year as he did in 2009.

He toasted with orangina like H1 did as she was on antibiotics for her mysterious throat infection, while the rest of us had champagne.

When the ball dropped on tv, I suppose he may have missed it in all the excitement and asked if it would drop again.

He also wanted to know if this is what we do after he goes to bed - drink alcohol and stay up way late.  I assured him we're not louts.

Christmas 2009

I do not think H1 and I will ever win that Present War again. Not that I could beat H1 these days but now with BH in the mix, even though we got him one big present, he still manages to collect the most.

His reason? He's lucky.

His reason as to why Grandma did not collect as many? She's naughty.

Christmas Eve 2009

All was quiet in the village...

until the giant elf came around with his giant bell of a siren, causing havoc in the snowy streets!

Heh.
