Bryan made his signature Basil Scrambled Eggs with Bacon for breakfast. He also baked the last of our white chocolate and macadamia nut cookie dough. Yummy. He and Rees then went to Costco to pick up some necessities (including a giant block of Tillamook, a la Kip Dynamite). Rees brought me back a big, beautiful bouquet.  Then we went to visit Jeff, Cashell, Liam, Kegan, and Quinn, to deliver a very late Christmas present. We hope they will enjoy it. Liam and Quinn were sleeping, but we visited with Kegan. He is getting so big, and will be walking on his own soon. All three of their boys have the cutest curly blonde hair.

We picked up lunch at Arctic Circle, and then Jamie went down for a nap. Rees and I went to see Liz, Lorin, and Emily the Bunny to deliver our final late Christmas present. Emily enjoyed the chewable toy baseballs that Rees picked out for her. I told Liz and Lorin that had the store carried bunny baseball caps (as depicted on the toy ball packaging), Emily would have gotten one. Rees and Lorin played with Liz’s Nightmare Before Christmas nesting dolls for a long time. Rees is also a big fan of their IKEA rug that invites driving with a toy car.

For the rest of the afternoon, I worked for Verio. We had planned to stain and finish my new quilting machine, but we didn’t. Maybe next weekend. After the boys went to bed, we watched A Prairie Home Companion. It was very mellow and low-key. I liked it; I think it helped that I was in a mellow mood. Bryan did not like it very much. He said that he kept waiting for it to go somewhere, but it never did.

It did have some nice one-liners:

“Just 30 minutes ago, he was exchanging gases with the atmosphere!”

“We come from people who brought us up to believe that life is a struggle, and if you should feel really happy, be patient: this will pass.”

“This song is brought to you by The Federation of Associated Organizations: somewhere out there, there’s an organization for you.”
