Christmas Journal

Elliot fell in love with the tree. 
Cameron worked 24-27. 
Cameron got a Kindle from Hannah. 
Anna stayed over on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day  
Fondue on Xmas Eve with cheese.  
Anna had to open her first gift before dinner, because it was the fondue pot. 
Chocolate Mousse on Xmas eve made by Kate
Kate and Ed drove from Michigan with tree and ornaments inside SUV
Blizzard was on Dec 26th.  
Car was snowed in.  Snow was as high as windows on car because of wind blowing snow into piles.  
Generalized outrage over poor plowing and clearing of streets (not limited to West-Page household)
H&C gave K&E TV.  They said it was “too big” and they did not mean the dimensions of the TV.  Secretly they loved it. Ed had a mischevious grin on his face as he talked about where they would put the TV. 
We read A Child’s Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas because it is one of Anna’s family traditions. That was minutes before midnight on Christmas Day. 
On Dec 27-28, Elliot really started standing.  Seriously, not just saying that as a parent.  This kid is precocious.  Okay, he had some help. 
Cameron started calling him Pookie.  Unclear why. 
elliot started talking a lot more.  See videos for details. 
Kate and Ed stayed downstairs in the apartment of our landlords and downstairs neighbors.
