Best. Christmas. Ever.

Okay, 2014 wasn't necessarily the "best" Christmas I've ever had, but it was pretty wonderful. Morgan's gift to me was a card saying he had donated to Habitat for Humanity! I have had this on my "wish list" for years, but this is the first time someone actually did it. So awesome! And Stacie gave me a lovely bag which was made by Lungile Mngometulu. Check out http://timbalicrafts.org/ and find out about the amazing way your shopping can bless small (really, really small) business owners in Swaziland. This made me so very happy.

LaMoore Christmas 2014

I love our family time together! Here were some of this year's gems (that I caught):

"The pun density is off the charts!"
- Nick, referring to the Guillotine card game, which has a subtitle of "The revolutionary card game where you win by getting a head."

"Viv cooked. There's no salmonella and no smoke detector."
- Nick

"He's a useful thing to have around."
- Ally, referring to Nick (before Lindsay's brakes were actually fixed . . . )

"I want the brown one. No, not Nick's. The cute brown one."
- Stacie, choosing a LaMoore exchange gift from the pile

"It's hard because I have a coat on."
- Viv

"I have a coat AND a penis."
- Mike
They were using the weighted hula hoop out on the patio, and may have been imbibing a bit, too . . .

I'm sure there were many other funny moments that I didn't write down. And I went to bed before the dance-off, but Jeff G won (of course!). Merry Christmas, all.
