Back at home after Xmas

We've made it back home after another grueling roadtrip. Actually, the trip back from CT wasn't quite as bad as the trip up since Teddy was more cooperative. He did cry from Baltimore to DC, right around the time that we couldn't justify a stop, and Margaret chimed in to get the stereo sound going, but both of them slept for a good part of the trip.

We have tons of photos. While I'm not terribly inclined to organize them too much, here is a basic breakdown.

Margaret showing off her outfit on Xmas Eve. (She was in a pretty fussy mood, so Dad used all of his powers to keep her happy.)

Opening presents on Xmas Day. Margaret had lots of fun with all of the commotion, although she didn't really seem to understand the significance of presents and lost interest after an hour or so.

But she did get to partake of peppermint stick ice cream, an Xmas tradition in the CT household.

Of course, we can't forget about Teddy who, just when it seemed that he wasn't getting enough attention, would yelp and cry to bring things back around to him.

And last, a movie of Margaret struggling with modern communications technology. As if her communication skills weren't handicapped enough as it is, she's also got this silly phone to deal with.
