Our Last DINK XMAS

Here's a storyboard of our last Christmas as non parents. Jason had almost 2 weeks off straight and Kelly had about a week and a half so there was a lot of time off but not a lot of travel unlike pretty much every Christmas break before in our history. We hunkered, nested, prepared and shopped like yuppie parents should.

We kicked things off by not kicking at all...instead Jason's legs moved very cautiously and stiffly around a roller rink for the first time in probably 20 years. Who's this nervous guy?

Anyway, then we sat at home and watched all these great holiday cards come in. What a stash!


And finally the festivities hit with Christmas Eve homemade noodle preparation, tree decoration fun and one (just one dammit!) present to open.

Then on Christmas day we gobbled up the noodles and turkey and green beans and salad and stuffing and ... Well, Kelly just had it all:


Look how stuffed she was!
