holidays on G Street

G Street. It's like Sesame Street except without the scary puppets. These are the people in my neighborhood. And they have helped to make this place home for us.

Christmas Day we headed next door for a good old fashioned Friendsmas.

The only mishaps were perhaps me not finishing my wine and J2 lighting dessert on fire.

Delicious food, good wine, a little Wii bowling, and and the Bishops successfully pulled off another holiday. We've managed to snag invites for all major holidays this past year---Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years. Score.

  

The day after Christmas, families with white SUVs who live on G Street were invited to Adventure Mountain for a little sledding. Just kidding anyone could go, it was just coincidence that a caravan of white SUVs was seen heading to the snow. Peter has all the good pictures, but suffice it to say we all had fun---and thankfully, the sledding mishap resulted in no lasting injuries.

And on the way home there was beer and Mexican food. I convinced Julie she clearly  needed the large beer (let's be honest it didn't take much convincing), and J1 looked at her with awe and adoration when she finished it.

With Christmas out of the way, next up was New Year's Eve. More champagne, wine and good food. You are sensing a theme, yes? Chunglunds held in until a little after 9:00, then it was jammies and snuggles. I don't think I've hit midnight since J1 was born.

We survived the holidays and the house has been un-Christmas-fied---at least the inside. Outside lights still need to come down, but I couldn't bear to have them come down on NYE. Next up, a couple of birthdays ... one being the big 4-0 for a certain Mr. Chunglund. Then it's on to baseball season. Life never stops.
