xmas countdown

Well, we're on the official xmas countdown.... funny thing about the xmas countdown is that as we're counting down the days, I count up the pounds.... Every year I expand to oompa loolpa-ish proportions!!! Tonight we celebrated xmas w/ my parents, so it was a food bonanza... A "eating event"...... I ate about 20 lobster sized shrimps & a ton of other appy's before the main event! Stuffed shells, salmon, bread..... oh my!!! I think I have stretch marks from the amount of food I ate!!!!! Then dessert just about put me in a coma..... cookies, cannoli... oh my! Phinneus cleaned up with the presents at my parents house. We did alright too!!! I don't know what his favorite gift was, but he likes trying to eat everything!!! See, he is in the middle of getting a tooth (1st one!!) & he tried to chew on everything, even mommy & daddy!! After all the food, Maggie & I had to take a walk! We went to CVS to see if they had cereal for the baby. It was good to try to moove around!

Friday was the annual "Holiday Party" at Groupe Seb USA, or as I call it "Maggies Work"... We brought the baby & he stole the show. He loved looking at all the decorations and all the different people. He was passed around to a bunch of people & didn't make a fuss at all!!! He was smiling and "flirting" with all the ladies.... After all the food & prizes were raffled off (we didn't win this year) Santa Claus came over to see all the kids!! Poor Phinneus was exhausted from all the partying he did & fell asleep just before he was called to sit on Santa's lap. He managed to open his eyes for a second & we snapped some pictures (soon to be posted)...

Well, it's time I roll my corpulent self into the bed & ready myself for another day in the 'ol salt mine!

PEACE!
