Xmas and Posting
We have been somewhat off our game when it comes to posting, sorry about that. If you haven’t checked Flickr recently, we’ve got all of the December pictures up there, including many from our trip to New York. Here’s one of my favorites:
Our trip back east was a lot of fun, a bit on the crazy side, and a bit rough on the immune system. Some of the highlights:
- We took the kids to the city to see the Radio City Music Hall Christmas show. I believe it was a first for all of us, and the kids (mostly) enjoyed it, although our nephew Curt lost it by the end. Colin was mesmerized by most of it, but he refused to wear the 3-D glasses they handed out, and thus missed one of the legitimately cooler portions of the show.
- Christmas morning was an absolute whirlwind - Jess and I could barely catch our breath as all of the kids 3 and older tore through every present in a matter of minutes. Unavoidable at this age I suppose, but we’re all hoping to reach a slightly more sane tempo in the future. Probably won’t happen.
- Colin and Curt had a blast together, and bonded over a mutual love of superheroes. Curt has progressed beyond Spiderman to include Power Rangers, but Colin is still firmly in the Spidey camp.
- There were a lot of pennies in this pool (it was a fundraiser, I believe they said there was over $1M worth)
- First class is the only way to fly. Thanks to American Airlines miles and my Dad’s generosity, we were able to fly it both ways. On both flights the 4th seat in our row opened up, which meant we had another 1st class seat for Holden coming and going. Colin was incredibly good on both flights (thanks buddy).
- I came down with chills and a fever the second we got home, and was laid up for the entire weekend after we got back - sweet!
All in all a fun trip. We’re trying to figure out our summer travel plans now, which should be the next major Fuller family journey, but we’ve got some smaller trips on the horizon as well - look out, we might be descending on your locale any day now (insert evil laugh)…
Lastly, our February resolution is to be more diligent about posting…promise.
