February is not far away and I find I am unable to write a traditional Christmas post. Perhaps it’s because we have a paltry 207 pictures chronicling Eva’s first Christmas. I might be a little overwhelmed.
Instead, I present one tiny theme from our Christmas week. I give you… Captain Eva!*
It all started with an innocent onesie. You can see the culprits laughing in the background (below left).
Next we received the Star Trek movie (above right). Several members of the family are obsessed with that movie. Eva, of course, experienced it in the womb.
Finally, Star Trek Uno** appeared, and we played it in between games of Quiddler*** for the rest of the trip. I highly recommend Star Trek Uno – we all enjoyed the addition of the “Beam Me Up” card.
Over the holidays, Captain Eva ruled. Because who are we kidding – isn’t the seven-month-old always in charge?**** Below, Captain Eva orders fine dining, a piano lesson, and some snuggles.
Finally, Captain Eva commands you to rock.
* We are not crazy Star Trek fans. I swear.
** Hmm… the evidence is starting to disprove *.
*** A note to The Northern California Quiddler Committee: The word “za” was used several times over Christmas, and once in conjunction with a new discovery, “mo.” Look up “mo” in the Scrabble dictionary and weep.
**** This is not true, though it sometimes feels that way.
Just the other day while I was eating my cold leftover za, I was looking out the window wishing I had more ericas in my front yard along the fence. But the thought only lasted a mo.
…what a sad day for the English language.
All the best to you guys this year!
At least they were not cruel enough to purchase her the RED SHIRT!
