Christmas Tree Downtown

I have been a little lax in my postings, been a little busy. So let me try to catch you up while my little man watches 'Wow, Wow, Wubzy' and the other kids are playing hide-and-seek and screaming and, in all likelihood, destroying my house. Today was dentist day for monsters number four and five. And monster five had a cavity. Couple hundred out of my pocket. Great day. But he was a trooper and didn't cry so I will try not to cry over the bill.

So here is the family in front of the big tree.




This is the tree by itself.




This is the Wisconsin tree in honor of Lumpy who gave the heads up on the parking garage we used again this year.



Speaking of the garage, it was kinda full. There were several parties going on in the building. So it was hard finding a space. Of course, we are driving the biggest vehicle ever made. That made it even more fun. So imagine me standing behind the tank, trying to get the wife to back it up because I made her go down a tunnel that we didn't have the clearance for while Nosaj is behind us trying to backup and there are party goers just trying to get around us to get to their party. The wife was pissed, I was a bit buzzed from dinner and Nosaj and his old lady were battling. A regular riot in the garage we were. We finally got parked in some monthly parking only spots and went on to the trees.

Did I mention that I slept until well past nine on Sunday morning because we went to church on Saturday? I couldn't tell you the last time I slept that late. Hell I played poker the weekend before and didn't get to bed till close to three and I was up at 7 the next morning with the kids. (Yes poker boys. I had to play with others since you won't set up a game.) This was definitely a good break. When I say we went to church, I really mean it. Saturday was a Day of Obligation. Basically a bonus church day scattered throughout the year to keep you on your toes. So we went to Arlington and hit a Latin mass (Yes the whole thing is in a foreign language. And it lasts forever.) and followed that up with an hour at the playground and then back to church for the regular mass.

Did I tell you I went to dinner with this guy recently??

Didn't you see the folks with the ear buds in? They make it look like it's a translation device for the Latin, but really it's their Ipod!
