Merry Christmas! While in Wisconsin, Kei and I had our sanity questioned more than a few times for more than a few reasons.
(1) My dad still hasn't quite gotten past the third cat (who is cute as ever, and likely the subject of the next blog post).
(2) Very few can comprehend what made us pack up said three cats into our car and drive for 36 hours from San Francisco to Manitowoc… and we were among them for a bit there… We were on the road for a whopping 15 minutes when suddenly a horrendous stench began to take over the meager air space inside a Prius. Turned out Cosette had a bout of car sickness, and it came out her back end... Really though, the real victim here was Heidegger, given that he was locked in the same cage as her at the time and held hostage with the foul contraband until Kei and I figured out what was going on and pulled over to clean up. In any case, we survived that one and Heidegger's brief foaming of the mouth (more car sickness) and made it to Manitowoc in tact!
(3) Kei was inspired to make a gingerbread house… and as I'm every day discovering: marriage means WE were going to be making a gingerbread house. This may not have been sanity-shaking alone, but true to our SF nature, we insisted on doing everything by scratch and going above and beyond minimum expectations. All the nay-saying and hours (okay, days) of effort eventually became worth it when the finished project emerged: behold the process and the product!
Kei was the chief dreamer, planner, architect, and builder... credit certainly must be due:
The pine trees were my other great claim to fame (frosting and sugar cones - wa-laa!), and the two of us worked together for the rest of the decorations...
Finished product!
TA-DAAA!!! The front & main show!
Merry Christmas from your favorite crazy Kondos!
