We have a friend, Reggie. Reggie has a mother, Connie. Connie makes the best flan. This is Michelles interpretation of Connies recipe. Connies Flanny is delicious! Too bad this is for dinner on Christmas Day.
Flan and the cook in her Eeyore Pajamas.
Mrs. Iss relaxing on the couch 17 hours before... you know what.
Breakfast at 10:20 a.m. That's the life. Joshua, Clarissa's husband agrees. And what's for breakfast?
YES! Lucky Charms!
The Christmas tree about 16 hours before... you know what.
Joshua and Clarissa.
Clarissa likes her Dad's retro jogging suit. OK, it wasn't retro when Dad got it umpteen years ago.
This is to document that all the stockings were hung from the chimney with care: Mom, Clarissa, Josh, Darcy, Matt, Jeana... wait a minute... WHERE'S DAD'S STOCKING!?
Josh and Curtis fire up the Wii to do battle (as a team) against the tanks.
Matt takes over for his Dad and continues the destruction of those evil tanks on the Wii.
Fiscal responsibility: Michelle is making sure the bills are payed on time... even if it means a trip to the Water Dept. on Christmas Eve. Well, thank goodness for the internet. We've registered with the Water Dept. and now we can pay the bill from the very same seat I'm writing from. Isn't that sweet.
The great thing about having Jeana around is: there will be GOOD food.
Here's Matt chillin' with his best friend Galan.
Here's Jeana relaxing on her mother's favorite spot on the couch.
Jeana brough carolers with her this Christmas. Here they are set up opposite the front door.
Jeana started playing a beautiful piece by Camille Saint-Saens named "The Swan". She eventually coaxed me into joining her - but it was a struggle.
Michelle rescued me from struggling through the duet with Jeana.
Fifteen fingers: Jeana (10) and Michelle (5) at the piano.
