Merry Christmas 2008
We’ve just wrapped up (so to speak) Christmas Day 2008. Absolutely delightful. Mom and Lowell and Sethy and Maia - just perfect!
Well, almost perfect - After Maia opened one of her gifts, I caught a vague glimpse of it and saw that the gift was an NPR goodie from Peter. I then blundered by blurting out “Oooh, it’s the Nina Totin Bag.” But the gift was not the Nina Totin Bag. The Nina Totin’ Bag from Peter was still under the tree waiting to be opened by Maia. Ooops. “It’s the Nina Totin’ Bag” became the operative phrase for the rest of the day.
It snowed all day - in fact we’re under a blizzard watch starting tonight at Midnight. Absolutely the way Christmas should be!
Peter and Tyge out on the Coastal Trail this evening. This could be a Christmas Card.
Tyge looking askance at his very own custom bobble head. Mom sent off Tyge’s picture to the bobble head folks and after much consultation and refinement, Voila! It’s the Tygey Bobble Head!

Hello. I am
Merry Christmas! Glad you had a good time with good people.
