what a difference a year makes

it's hard to believe that a year ago, evan was just 2 cells and there was just a moment of vomit recognition that i might be pregnant at in and out burger, post drinks with anson. note to self, i must eat the good luck sweet beans during new years day. another successful fong xmas eve party under our belt, and i hacked and coughed my way through it. i think it might the last year i actually make something (sweet potatoes/yams) two ways again. it's just too much work the day of and too many cooks in the kitchen. the flowers were great, the holiday decorations were on point, and i have nothing to say about the plaid table cloth that debuted this year on our dining room table. Lee was santa this year, and the kids say 2 xmas carols, dylan was the star, isabella and sofia had equal stink-faces with matching slug enthusiasm. evan was happily passed around and sunggled with everyone and it was an exhausting good time. brian's parents came back to open presents on xmas day and then we went over to belin's for a nice, relaxing dinner. so far, the gifts that are hits: the 3 wheeler from the Lees from costco that i haven't decided if we should keep, the magnatiles, the good night concrete site book from jill, the magnatiles from santa and the cash register from tutu & yehyeh. he did like the art easel and the dusty table and chair set, but we haven't opened them yet.

i wish i could bottle these memories up, and keep them fresh on my shelf forever. time for me to read the instruction manual of my new camera so that i can try to capture these memories the best that i can.
