Holiday Crunch

Was up late making cookies (extremely long story) and decided to channel some of the energy I obtained from various dips into various sugary batters into a little time on the Hardly Born.

The problem I have, of course, is hearing that everybody wants more pictures, more pictures, and so I refrain from adding much content when that content isn't photographic.

Today, for instance, we had a birthday party for the daughter of a friend of ours who turned one. This was a little more difficult than we expected because we and everyone else he knows has been telling Reid for the past few weeks that soon he would have lots of presents to open, from all kinds of people he knows, not to mention Santa.

Well a whole bunch of people came over today, December 18th (very close to Christmas when you're two and a half) with gifts...for someone else. It was hard for little Reid. He's been looking forward to Christmas for a long time. Fortunately, one friend of ours, Ms. Janeen, brought Reid an early Christmas gift which permitted us a happy distraction and a delightful rest of the day...wearing mittens!



I'm going to try to commit to delivering a Christmas treat to everyone who reads the Hardly Born with any degree of frequency. I'm going to post a picture nightly until Christmas. I've been going through the archives of unpublished Reid-a-riffic delights, and I can totally do it. Life just keeps piling up on our hard drive and I can put them out here for you guys, or keep them all to ourselves. And we're always trying to model sharing behavior.
