Clark Adventures: Merry Christmas!!

It's a quiet morning in the Clark house with Trey sleeping; Randy watching the Bulls game on tv; and me sitting in the man chair, drinking coffee, eating leftover coffee cake from yesterday's brunch, playing with photos, and blogging...

Six months old and getting close to sitting on his own...

all 16 pounds 2 ounces and 26.5 inches of him.

We have had a great holiday so far. Yesterday was our annual Christmas Eve brunch with family and friends. I think it was year four for our new tradition, and Randy and I love hosting people at our house with yummy delicious food and drinks. Randy makes his killer Bloody Marys and I have a pot of glog on the stove. People bring scrumptious food (Julie's kringles are always a hit) and visit with each other in our home. It starts off the Christmas Eve/Christmas festivities with a bang and it is so much fun!!

As usual, the baby was more interested in the wrapping paper than the gift...

People have been saying that Trey looks like my dad.

Do you see the resemblance?

Happy Boy

Reach, reach, reach!

Some Bronco dinnerware...getting ready for big boy food in style!

We spent Christmas Eve night with Julie and Tim at their place. Julie made a yummy clam chowder and we ate gingerbread leftover from the brunch (thanks, Jason!). Trey has a short shelf-life in the evenings, so we were home pretty early and sadly in bed by 9pm.

Randy's parents got into town last week, spent Friday night with us, and then headed north to Anacortes and Seattle. They come back this afternoon and I am looking forward to a few days with them before they head back to Southern California. Hopefully, their house was safe from the flooding. I am thinking that some haystacks are in order for Christmas dinner, and I might try to squeeze in a house project tomorrow before they leave. It's tradition, after all!
