Des practicing with his new camera. f/8 and be there, kid.
Upon reviewing, “that good picture!”
Took several weeks, but Eleanor has discovered the Christmas tree loophole: the stairs
At a friend’s house for a family New Years Eve gathering, Eleanor pulls a conversation starter card from the deck.
Des just kinda appeared upstairs with a mask. As you do.
Downstairs it was “controlled” chaos
After an hour or two of trying to put her down in the pack-n-play, mom and dad surrendered and invited Ella to the party. Flirting with the emotional disaster of sleep deprivation, she was surprisingly even-keeled throughout the night. Dad entertaining her with nibbles of baked macaroni cheese cups
“Too much haha, soon boo-hoo…” Eleanor enjoy the noisemakers at first, but her enthusiasm eventually wained
Ok, the yawns eventually settled in
Meanwhile, Des is curled up with Grace downstairs
This is not a picture of Eleanor dealing Cards Against Humanity cards
The countdown…
2018! The first year both children made it to midnight. Tomorrow mom and dad shall envy all those with skull-splitting hangovers.
Yeah, it’s time to go to bed
