The Post of Christmas Past

Written by Riley on November 13, 2008 in: Family, Musings | Tags: , , , , , ,

There’s a party going on at MomDot and you’re all invited. They’re posting a Christmas question every day from Nov 12 – 27th, and even though today is the 13th, I am starting with the original question (which is sponsored by La Belle Toile and This and That by Randi:

“Introduce us to your family and share Holiday pics of years past.”

I think you all know my family by now, but just to recap, there’s me, Riley, the witty and beautiful writer of this blog (did I mention I’m conceited?); Husband, the hard-working vegan who puts up with me (did I mention I’m a know-it-all?); and my wild wide eyed children The Boy and Little No Limit. Here they are putting on a show of their new presents at Nana and Papa’s house last Christmas:

Like how warmly dressed they are? That’s what Christmas in southern California is all about, baby.
Santa gave the kids bicycles and while they are riding them outside in the above pictures, they have a different place to ride them at home:

That’s right – I used to let the kids ride their bikes inside the house. I have all wood and tile, and they were just getting the hang of it, so why not? It was fun for a while, but nowadays, they’re more interested in riding their bikes outside, where they can get in better speed and distance than one could ever hope for in a hallway or living room where the random dog or toy or parent’s foot might be in the way. I guess it’s time for the training wheels to come off!

  • I used to love riding my bike in the basement when I was growing up. Looks like they were having lots of fun.

  • My son would be ecstatic to ride his bike in the house. I’ll let him play soccer in here, but I could only imagine the damage he’d do on a bike. Great photos!

  • I think everyone should be able to ride their bike inside the house.
