Ugh, It’s Been a Hundred Years.

So how was your guys’ holiday season? Mine was GREAT. We spent Christmas in Portland at my brother & sister-in-law’s house… it was nice to have our family all together again. My niece is getting so big… she basically learned how to sit up on her own while we were there (in the FOUR WHOLE DAYS we were there– babies learn stuff crazy fast). She was sort of doing it on Christmas Day, only really wobbly. But by Saturday, she was sitting for a long time by herself. Amazing. She’s also started laughing super hard at things people do or faces they make, so I got a couple videos of her just cracking up. Michael would grab her foot and make her kick him in the face and then fall on the floor… she would kind of grin at that, but then he would use his momentum to roll back up and kiss her, and it was making her shriek with laughter. I’m pretty sure there’s no better sound in the whole world than a baby laugh that hard.
New Year’s was fun too… my roommates and I just sent out a Facebook invite to all of our friends and made it basically just an open house. So we probably had around 25 or 30 people stop by at various times during the night. A bunch of them are younger, like from 17-20, and they all left pretty soon after midnight, but a few of the friends closer to my age stayed until almost 4 am. I was thinking about it, and I’m pretty sure that I haven’t stayed up that late since I wasn’t allowed to stay up that late. We were just talking and playing cards, and I busted out this hilarious book called “Misery” (part of it is on Flickr here) and the new LOLcats book that I got for Christmas, and finished the night off by watching a first-season episode of 30 Rock. All in all, a great night. I slept until 1pm on New Year’s Day and basically did nothing the entire day.
So how about it? Tell me about your Christmas and New Year’s and all that stuff. I’d love to hear from you.
