Come on and Do the Elf Dance

Granted for most right now it is Christmas Eve, but to me the eve is what it is all about. It has been tradition to open presents and have an hor'derve dinner on Christmas Eve. In between smoked fish on crackers and rice pudding for dessert, we open presents. However, this year was nice for me. I asked for cash, and that is what i got. No let down of not getting what i really wanted, because was i really wanted was a trip to Asia, and i got that in Nov. and now my family has helped foot the bill... but that isn't what i really wanted to write about.
I have a nephew. He is great. He is perfect for the most part, and alas he is five months old. But today, I got to see him laugh, cry, fall asleep on my chest, and even roll over. He's freakin' amazing. Alas even more amazing than Asia, which is a whole lot of amazing. Anyways, here are some pictures from the day. Merry Christmas all.
