My Christmas in LOTS OF photos, behind the cut. Naturally, you will be shocked to discover that it is a baby-heavy entry.

In Bellingham, and have been for a few days now. Waiting for my brother and sis-in-law to show, still have to wrap up one last present, and Iz is sleeping in her car seat next to me on the floor. Brian is smoking an entire turkey! Am feeling mellow and sorta happy/sorta morose. Kind of want to dive face first into a bottle of wine, but that sort of thing should probably be saved until bro and sis-in-law leave.

Holidays are different when you have kids. Kinda better, kinda not. Like, it is way more exciting because it's my baby and it's her first Christmas and all that is super incredibly awesome. On the other hand, it's sort of less fun, because I'm still at work at my full time job, except without a lot of the systems and tools that I have at home to help me cope.

It would be sort of like if your job were digging ditches, but someone gave you a much smaller shovel to use for the day. On the other hand, there are more people to help you dig!

Or something. Yeah.

Anyway, happy Christmas and all that!
