doing the thing

Gmorning, world.  Today we'll do lots of stuff.

1.  open presents
2.  Mom will crochet a scarf
3.  Dad and brother will pick up the kids
4.  open presents again
5.  cook
6.  bake
7.  go to Lompoc to see oodles of extended fam and eat tamales
8.  pure exhaustion

Yesterday we shopped till we dropped, decorated the tree, and wrapped presents.  I was like, "Let's not decorate the tree this year.  The dog will just eat the ornaments."  I was overwhelmed by the idea of Christmas lights.  But we did it.
