Spilling the Beans

December 2005 (looking back)

Went out to chop down our Christmas tree in Chester with Amy and Paul. Ed brought a few beers to help with the hard work of chopping. Amy tried to get me to help her finish her beer and when I flatly refused, she freaked.

Next on the list were Mom and Don. Gave them an ornament for their Christmas tree. Very cute little baby crib ornament, needless to say there were tears (of joy mom assures us :-) Then Kim and Dean arrived to share in the fun. Called Anne in Florida and Dad out West later that night. Think everyone was pretty excited to say the least.

Also had to spill the beans to a few friends over the holidays. Not generally being one to say 'no thanks' to a bit of Christmas Cheer, eyebrows were raised immediately when I had Ginger Ale with my dinner instead of wine. Sucks to be a boozer with a secret.. doesn't last long!

Great Grampy Belliveau got a special gift on Christmas eve. Although he has many great-grand kids already, I think he was pretty excited for us too.
