Greens for Greek omelette, Christmas Eve dinner. FU, tradition!

The kitchen of the avocado killers… unveiled!

Clem playing cheeky on his tipped-up bike.

Clem with his new Hot Wheels. Crash ‘em, baby, crash ‘em!

My present from Judy. A sweater for Alec and a little box (jewelry?) for Edit…

Clem takes his new infant doll from Becky. He says, “bebe” and cuddles it, but sometimes he throws it to the ground because he sees a car. I don’t yet know whether he is a psychopath or a gentleman:

I also want to make a quick note that, coming from my father, no guilt-tripping means anything, because he is failing to visit his only grandson, who loves him so, while he buys Rolex watches and Diamond earrings and drinks million-dollar beer, all because he can’t ride on a Airplane without two seats to hisself and a body pillow…

My current job, finished except for decorating. I loved designing and building this, but boy did it take a long time. All those little boxes and all those different sized doors required a lot of accuracy and took a lot of time and effort. Also I did all the work on site which meant using some new methods. Aside from a few small snags I am very happy with how it went, and I have no issues with how it looks. Once it’s painted it’s going to come alive and really be something special…

Our Christmas tree and our presents (mostly from my mother) stacked in a neat cube on the coffee table by Becky:

Clem loves Christmas trees. He doesn’t know what presents are yet. He has learned to say “star”, “Ho Ho Ho” and “snowman”. He has been afraid of the snow so far. But Gordon likes it. We went out tonight and he acted like it was carnival.

I hope everyone is having a good winter and good Christmas season so far!
