"Should old aquaintance be forgot..."

Daniel stole one of the bowls off the Thanksgiving table and pretended to eat from it.
This is him pretending to eat.
"What? I'm eating here."

Well...it's the feast of Christ the King today -- the New Year's Eve of the RC Church. So, we went to a really nice brunch that was organized by some friends in Regnum Christi (www.regnumchristi.org). There were tons of families and good food. It's a nice group of people and we had a really good time. Must have been at least 75 kids, so Buck was never bored. There was even a kids' snow sport tourneyment (spelling?) after we ate - sledding and races etc. I didn't see it but I heard it was fun. The entire group had a special Mass later in the afternoon, so it was a long day towards the end. We did have a nice "1 1/2 year old" circle in the back of the Church where we all just listened to our kids cry from fatigue, but even that was ok since we were all in it together.

Happy New Year to fellow Catholics. It's a good time to have a mini celebration. Feel free not to celebrate if that's not your thing.

Speaking of celebrating, I actually ordered nice Christmas cards from shutterfly.com. I was feeling particularly prideful about them until I reviewed my order (they've already shipped). I have a HUGE typo inside of the card. If you are bothering to read this, you'll probably get a card, so you can feel free to laugh at me. I will be spending some time after they arrive editing the cards. Nightmare. Nice ex-English teacher. I'm sure I won't hear the end of that.
If you feel merciful, just focus on the pictures at the front. We actually took a picture all wearing the same color (of course, Buck is not wearing shoes, but I liked the picture). We will never be the Norman Rockwell family at this point, so why bother?

On a final note, RKZ has said to inform everyone reading that he has officially given up on Jake Plummer and he is waiting for Jake Cutler to start for the Denver Broncos. This is a very big step for the Grady household as Shawn has never turned his back on one of his own before. There was mourning. But some deficiencies cannot be ignored. Go Broncos (and God Bless America). Oh, God bless Canada too.
