Presents, Asians, and Wine, oh my!

I survived the holidays! Christmas was great. Tyler got way too much stuff again. And again, I will have to rearrange my house to fit everything. I'm thinking of putting away or selling some of his toys! His Grandma LeConey got him a Little People's garage, lots of arts and craft supplies, a Leap Frog tag system, and tons more. He got a lot of cars!! We had to wake him up Christmas morning in which he was not thrilled. Christmas day was long, and it was just one of the many days he didn't nap. He also managed to catch a cold right before Christmas. On Christmas day he got a train set, Elmo Live, learning laptop, and more.

Oh yeah, Josh and I got presents too. I tend to always forget that part! Though we didn't exchange with each other, we got gifts from our family. I got a vacuum for the floors, a new columbia winter coat, a new mattress pad for our bed and a magic bullet blender. I'm domesticated aren't I? Josh got tools, gift cards to gamestop, and an Xbox game.

The day after, I headed to Taylor and Chris' rehearsal and rehearsal dinner where the asian fun began. Her rehearsal dinner provided me with Vietnamese and Chinese food that I'd never seen or eaten before and likely never will choose to again. Luckily, I only called upon the emergency chicken fingers during the 8th course. I later learned there was jellyfish and snail on the table. To think that I actually ate the jellyfish (though I only had a small bite). Sarah, sitting next to me, spit it out. It did at least go down my digestive tract. Chris swears it wasn't jellyfish. However, we have sources.It was a great exploration though...

Taylor's wedding was beautiful, and as always she looked like a glowing bride. She was so calm and collected! The reception was by far one of the most fun ones ever! Unfortunately, four glasses of wine didn't end so well with me. I'm not sure I ate enough! But we had a great time, and I can't wait until she gets back (to work) :-)

I took 436 pictures over the holidays and the wedding! You can view a small handful on www.dropshots.com/elizabeth043005 If the site is acting strange, try it back in a little while. It's been down last night and today.
