Christmas 2008

How I love presents! I especially love buying toys for Archer, which is why I went to Tugooh Toys yesterday and bought 100 wooden blocks. After serious architecture projects, David asked me if I got the blocks for Archer or for myself.

Back to Christmas. It was so much fun getting and giving this year. My highlights were getting a irobot vacuum cleaner, a Vera Bradley tote, a great big travel bag, new towels and an incredible print of our house in Windwood. I also loved watching Archer watch Little Hugh play with a remote controlled helicopter. David says the helicopter won the best present prize for the 2 hours it worked.

We had a delicious dinner in Richmond at my parents house Christmas Eve with yummy creamed mushrooms. Unfortunately that night, I got sick because Archer was sick. We went back up to D.C. on Christmas day and had another delicious meal at Granny Navarin's house with Karen and John. I wish we could have stayed longer, but I had to camp out in our bathroom.

Despite being sick, it was a wonderful Christmas with my family.

A cute picture, but Archer looks a little funny.
