Well the holidays are finally over. The tree is down and at the recycling center, the halls are undecked, and the local radio station has stopped playing bad Mariah Carey Christmas songs and now just plays bad Mariah Carey in general. I have to admit I'm glad. This year I really tried to keep up the Christmas spirit all the way from Thanksgiving until the 25th of December. It's not easy. First, there are really only about 40 or so Christmas songs and they are played ad nauseum for a month. I'm sorry, but you can only take so much. By the time the new year arrives, you want to kick the stuffing out of one of Santa's elves. Second, every time you turn around someone else wants money for something. "You have to give to help the homeless"; "Please donate to the Salvation Army"; "If you don't send money we're turning off the electricity"; blah blah blah.
Monday things will be back to normal. For our last day of vacation we went to the Railroad Park in Scottsdale. It's a fun park I've blogged about before, and the only drawback it has is that it's full of people from Scottsdale. We met my sister Tricia and her daughter Lily. We had fun riding the train, the merry go round, and playing in the playground.
Family Swing Time
Happy Cousins
Once we got home, Sabrina wanted to play around a bit before dinner. She gave Chase some lessons in how to play with plastic bowls.
"What? We're just playing."
"Pay attention Chase"
Now a bath, then bed. Ah, finally Those Two Daddies can have a glass of wine and relax! Hope you all had a great New Year's!
"What do you mean I have to put my PJ's on?"
