weezer in a pear tree
Weezer thinks this tree is his personal playground. It took Grant and me, one at each end, to pull him out. The next morning, the tree was on the ground with ornaments scattered about.
We ventured out to Tanglewood Friday night to see the lights. After losing my mom's driver's side window (fell down into the d00r) and switching cars, we piled in the Mercedes to sit in a line.
I stuck my head out of the sunroof to take pictures as we drove. They had a lot of moving displays that reminded me of animated .gifs.
The pets enjoyed Christmas too.

My mom made felt stockings for all of our 8 cats and 2 dogs.
The dogs got walked quite a bit while we were home. We left with 2 dogs and came back with 3, after we added a fat black lab halfway around.
The search for the great pickle - a tradition adopted from the Andersons, I think. The first person to find the pickle gets a special present.
Maggie & Oreo were the first to open their presents, two ham bones that the cats tried to unwrap for them. We actually talked my parents into letting us open presents a couple of days early, which gave us time to play with them!!!
Ryan got a Toronto Raptors jersey that he bought and returned last summer, then tried to buy this break again, but was gone! Wonder why???
Grant thought he was getting another guitar for his PS2, but was tricked!
It was really a wool dress coat.
Ryan gave me the game Settlers of Catan. I've learned to love it from playing only 3 times with Nikie and Chadd at Highland.
You can tell when there's been down time if the leftover cities, settlements, and roads become statues.
The goal of the game is to get 10 points by buying, trading, and building on the island of Catan. If you want to know more, you'll have to play it with me! (Ryan's already sick of it.)
In other news, Carson Reid Watkins was born on Sunday, Dec. 23 (his due date). He and Nikie should be at home by now for his first Christmas!Hope you all had a merry Christmas!

That picture of Weezer in the tree almost looks like he was just put in there graphically. What a crazy cat. You'll have to teach me how to play Settlers with you. When are you in town next, huh, huh?!?
Sure enjoyed having you, Ryan and Grant home for Christmas. We really miss not seeing more of you!
Settlers of Catan is so much fun to play... I think I am going through withdrawl from it with you gone.
Oh, I got the window fixed today. Apparently VW has problems with that part cause there is a recall for the Golf, GTI and the Jetta.
Kind of suspicious that the Passat wasn't included, and two of our window have the same problem.
The dogs are already bored silly with us. When are you coming back? MOM
We've been playing settlers all Christmas too!! :) (We are now tackling Knights and Citys...) :)love tara
