Christmas Eve

We celebrated Christmas Eve with my family (sans my brother and sister-n-law) this year by gong to Elmer's for breakfast (mmm, bacon), then went back to my place for presents and stuff. After we opened gifts, we dashed off to make emergency exchanges at Costco because the memory cards for the digital cameras were the wrong size and the iHome alarm clocks didn't have the nano adapter in the box. Ooops!

After our extended family left, we took the kids to see Chronicles of Narnia. I'm a fan of the books, so I thought the film was great. My only question - how does a film that contains copious amounts of perfectly gorgeous CGI effects also contain such hideously obvious bluescreen shots?

We also learned a valuable Christmas Eve lesson – eat first, THEN see a movie, not the other way around. I never noticed that restaurants close up early (even the fast food ones!) on Christmas Eve. We'll know better next year.
