That Winter Holiday.

We had a good one. Went over to baka49er's place a little early to help set up. Ann and Bill, escorting Kylie the Wonder Niece, arrived a little after 1000. Great breakfast, nice low key atmosphere.

Then came the presents. In true family tradition, when went in order from youngest to oldest, so Kylie got to open her gifts first. She loved tearing paper. More than the presents, I think. Kirsten loved the Emergency Backup Present. Kylie got books, a doll (that we all agreed reminded us of Talky Tina,) and some other goodies.

Ann and her family had to leave after a few hours so Kylie could get a nap before heading off to see the Other Family. When Ann asked Kylie if it was time to go home, she waved at us and said "bye-bye!" Kid knows when it's time to go! We also left to come home and nap for a bit. Later we went back over to enjoy a nice dinner with Mom.

Good holiday. Hope y'all enjoyed yours. I'll have some pictures fairly soon.

The Feddy Awards!

THE 2006 FEDDY AWARDS
WHAT'S A FEDDY? FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK.

Oh, the indignity of it all. One day, you're consort to the reigning princess of pop, the next, you're Fed-Ex. It's the biggest postmarital tumble since Roseanne dumped Tom Arnold. But let's face it: Even on a good day, Kevin Federline is no Tom Arnold, and his future looks pretty grim unless someone comes up with a way to keep his name alive.

Datebook may have the answer: In honor of Kevin Federline's enduring irrelevance, we are renaming our annual Least awards, honoring the most egregious moments in pop culture of the waning year. With that, dear readers, we give you the 2006 Feddy Awards, beginning, of course, with one to K-Why himself

Read the article. Well worth it.
