Christmas Eve we spent here just the three of us. We made a roast, potatoes and green bean casserole. Clem loved every bite. Then she got to open two things: her new Christmas pjs and Peekaboo Christmas board book.
Her jammies were so cute I could hardly stand it.
Cam tried reading Christmas Peekaboo to her but the roast got to her and she temporarily went wild. She was zooming all around her room, picking up random things and hurriedly taking them all over the house. See her bottle of vitamins and rubber ducky??
The next morning, we got up around 7:00 (yipppeeeee!!!) and Clem opened the gifts from Grandma and Grandpa and from Santa, too! She was a little unfocused but got the hang of it eventually.
After lots of present opening, we were very hungry so we had home made cinnamon rolls for breakfast and then headed on over to the Ray family farm. We piled into our snug little car and trudged on through the Bellingham ice covered roads. But as soon as we got to their house, my Ford Focus got stuck in about a foot of snow and it wasn't moving! :(
This cemented in our minds something we already knew: Ford Focus was ready to be put out of it's misery. It's not a Bellingham-weather equipped car, it's too small for our family and it was beginning to require more time and money than it's worth.
So I got my Christmas present today:
A Mazda Tribute!! HOLLA'!!! We got an excellent deal on this SUV thanks to Cam! My payments on this baby will be nearly the same as on the Ford Focus! If I had known that was possible, I would have done this a million years ago!
