| Too much sugar on Christmas morning!! |
This year we finally got to sleep in late, thanks to no Christmas morning church jobs - well, except for Juan and Trish. In deference to them, we decided to wait until they got home to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas, rampant consumer excess!
It was the year of the ukulele in the Pineda household. After Juan and Val purchased one for me, Val snuck out of the house to buy one for Juan after she was nearly driven to insanity by the hours and hours Juan spent "tuning" my uke prior to wrapping it up.
Ukes are the new black.
With a revolving door of guests stopping by throughout the day, the wine flowed freely, strewn wrapping paper created a delightfully colorful fire hazard and crumbs covered bulging stomachs.
After we ushered the final guests out the door, the family settled down together for what I'm sure will become an annual Christmas tradition, a viewing of the heartwarming classic, "Bridesmaids." Is there any more appropriate way to end a lovely holiday weekend than with diarrhea jokes? Methinks not.
Here are the Christmas highlights in pictures. Happy Holidays!
 |
| Everyone gets a stocking in the Pineda household. |
 |
| Tiny Tim, watch out. |
 |
| Val - when you're ears are bleeding and you hear Kamakawiwo'ole's version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" on an endless loop in your sleep, remember, you bought the Ukes! |
 |
| Mom and dad with mom and dad. How meta. |
 |
| Stogies in the backyard...stinky. |
 |
| The Love's strike a pose. One of these things is not like the other... |
 |
| The Shores. Looks like there was a sale on red sweaters at Kohl's. |
 |
| Trish entertains us with her spot-on impersonation of the Virgin Mary. |
 |
| The Pinedas with favorite student (shhh, don't tell the other kids), Zach. |
