and this year....there were seven of us...  hoooray!  art added himself to the now base-six, and off we went into the cooperatively organized world of christmas at the waite house!  everyone particiapted in the eve service (ryan and coll torched!  alex first assisted!  bec and art sang a duet!  mom and dad ushered!)  and we went to bed on time so as santa would be able to come in the house.  now that the furnace guy had come by, we could provide hospitable conditions within the house....lovely.

becca's weekend abdominal pain culminated in a 4.5 hour dash to the ER on christmas day... she didn't feel much better, but she came home for dinner anyway.  probably appendicitis was the conclusion.  thanks the the info, dudes, she said, and spiked her cider. 

the rest of us took it easy, played encore, ooohed at the snow (and chevy eating it) and watched eachother's entertainment. 

quite entertaining, quite enjoyable...
