Bridget had no idea what was going on, but the rest of us enjoyed it. We spent Saturday with my mother, Sunday with Jessica's family, then Christmas day with just the three of us sitting around the house for some much needed rest. Bridget even took a couple of long naps (long=more than 45 minutes normally), each lasting about an hour-and-a-half. We consider this to be the "Christmas Miracle."
The naps gave us time to make and enjoy a partial Irish Breakfast (everything except for the puddings and beans, see picture below). That's not ham, it's a rasher (Irish bacon), and it's awesome. I even made the brown bread that morning.

You can also check out the disaster that used to be our living room:


Tons of pictures from all the visits and yesterday morning can be found in the Christmas 2006 gallery. Bridget has her own Christmas gallery, with a lot of extra pictures.
Hope everyone else had a good holiday. I, unfortunately, must work today.
