Woody Hayes Says Merry Christmas!!!

Yeah, Woody still likes climbing the tree. Notice the lack of ornaments? I didn't even bother putting any up this year because all he does is knock them off. My tree looked very "minimalist."

But without further ado, here are the pics I took of Christmas '08. Not a whole lot happened, just spent quite a bit of quality time with the fam. The crew came down from the QC a few days before Christmas, and even though I couldn't take any time off work, we still maximized our time together.

Here are a few pics from Christmas morning. Carter got approximately 2,437 presents, and I got 3. But I got what I asked for, and Carter seemed happy. Although the two things he played with most were some soup cans and an old doll he found in the basement. Next year I'm getting him a balloon and some bubble wrap.
Here are the twins in their holiday outfits. I would tell you which is which, but....well...I have no clue. Katie, can I get some help here?
Here they are lounging with me while I watched a replay of the '97 Rose Bowl between TOSU and ASU. The sad thing is I knew the first name of every single Buckeye in the game, and even half of the Arizona State team. Jake Plummer, you were anoying as hell, and Pat Tillman, get a haircut. And RIP too.
The day after Christmas I had to work, and that evening everyone came to my condo to chill. Here is the whole gang watching TV after feasting on frozen pizza.
Here I am giving Carter a sip of my ginger ale. Dad freaked out because he thought it was a cocktail, but I told him I wouldn't let Carter drink until he was at least 17.
While Ken was worrying about the ginger ale "cocktail," Carter snuck off and had a shot of Jim Beam. He was a little pissed I didn't have any Johnny or Jack, but he got over it.
"YEEE HAWWWW!!! THIS SHIT IS GOOD!!!"
"LET'S GO STREAKING IN THE QUAD!!!"
"I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A QUAD IS, BUT THIS MATTRESS SURE MAKES A FUN SLIDE!!!"
OK, so Carter wasn't really drinking, but Katie and Carl forgot his sippy cup and he was thirsty. Shockingly, it wasn't my idea to use a shot glass (it was Carl's), but he LOVED the thing, it was just his size.
Lastly, here I am with all my boys. I miss them already and can't wait to see them again. I talk to Carter every day on the phone (I use the term "talk" loosely), and can't wait until the twins are old enough to do the same.
All in all it was a great Christmas, I can't wait until next year!

You're a good uncle- 17 is a very reasonable drinking age... ;)

Can you imagine if you still had TWO cats - your tree would be in shreds on the floor! But I bet you still miss TTC (Tom the Cat)! :)
