Take the Tree Down Already

Duncan relaxing on one of the dining room chairs, the bokeh of a red glass Christmas Tree decoration in the background. Duncan knows that the time has passed for this to be in the house even though he’s secretly been enjoying every minute of it. The tree comes down tomorrow.

On the homefront I think I picked up some wacky virus on my laptop. And it is constantly opening firefox browsers for ads at random times. I think I picked it up on Facebook but cannot be sure. So not I’m running AdAware and Spybot: Search and Destroy to see if that takes care of things. I ran a virus scan and it showed a trojan type virus that was deleted but as soon as I put my browser back on it was back. I’ll see what I can figure out.

Chinese Birthday Night

Chinese Birthday Night
Photo-a-Day #1371

Tonight we celebrated Allison’s birthday. My sister Tara coordinated everything and even picked up Chinese food from her (our) favorite restaurant, Fortune House. She got all of the favorites including Sesame Chicken, Crispy Walnut Chicken and a couple of pu pu platters. It was delicious and our table was full. The table was full, not only of food but of fun conversation, family and friends (Trooper Mike came by too). I even came away with a few fortunes that I can work with tomorrow for my 15 minutes a day blog because they have Chinese words on the back.

After dinner we had an unbelievable ice cream pie from The Ice Cream Machine. It was a Peanut Butter Cup one and it was soo good.

Allison received some nice gifts including iTunes gift cards and a gift card form the yarn store.

The boots are made for walking

Eva even received another gift, some cool clothes from Auntie Shelby including some cute boots that my Father helped put on her, and cut off the tags.

Then we showed Trooper Mike our white water rafting video from 2005. It was fun to watch those again.
