Christmas #1 - The Carpenter's

We celebrated Christmas early with my side of the family since my new sister-in-law had to work a 30 hour shift on Christmas day.

Ethan commandeered Sarah's Christmas present

Merry Christmas!

Abigail-isms

"Mommy, me and Daddy are rock stars.  Yeah, we rock."

"Mommy, I think someone in this car is sleepy.  And it's me."

(Singing) "I love my Daddy and I love rainbow lights!"

Um, thanks

Disclaimer - we're going into a taboo subject here, the topic of MONEY

I just saw the figures for BAS (Basic allowance for subsistence) here.  I had to double check what our rate from last year was.  Our BAS went up . . wait for it . . . a grand total of 80 cents.  I guess I should probably be glad that they didn't go down but 80 cents just seems like such a ridiculous amount.

We'll now return you to your regularly scheduled kid-cuteness.
