Christmas and New Year's

-We spent Christmas with D's dad, I sang in D's dad's church's choir with him, and after Christmas we saw D's brother and wife and the five kids in their blended family (I think there are two more who are grown-ups that I have never met).

-So anyway, I was pretty excited to see my family, who may have a lot of flaws but at least have working wireless. We stayed with my sister, who has a girl six months older than A and a boy who is about three years younger, and the three of them had a great time with Legos and playing board games and video games. (A: Can we get a TV? Me: Sure, we've meant to for a while. A: Can we get an XBox? Me: Hmm....) Sometimes E would deign to join in and then often had a good time too. I did Yuletiding and D did a fair amount of work.

( More family stuff. )

-We did make two unforced errors here (one of which probably had no effect).
