The Missing Box Shot


Here's the missing shot from my previous post. Nothing says "Christmas" like opening a gift from your mother and finding it packed in a Mole Killer poison box. Ha. I love this. No actual poison was enclosed, just an awesome bear ornament for our bear-themed Christmas tree. This is a holiday memory I'll cherish.

Happy Holidays 2008

Although Norio has to work off and on today we did manage to have a nice, festive morning opening gifts, listening to Christmas music and breakfasting on homemade cinnamon-apple oatmeal. Yum. 

This bottle of wine came from a vendor we use at work. I can't wait to pop the Poppy! 


This was the box my mother sent her gift inside. Should I be worried? We don't have moles.

This panettone goes on sale at Gelson's every holiday season, and it's absolutely yummy. I sent boxes of it back home to some family members who said they liked it as well.

Norio donned two of his gifts, a golden jacket from American Apparel and a red throw that he decided would make a nice scarf.


This was our "before" picture of the tree.
