It has been a really neat Christmas season this year.  Chloë's Nutcracker performances are done, and thought they were terribly cumbersome, I'm glad she did them.  My Aunt is here from El Salvador for a month!  She speaks no English, and it has been fun having her.  My mom is going to miss her when she leaves.  We have dragged her all over.  She is so sweet & kind.  She is also about 4'8".  Which makes her about 4 inches taller them my 7 year old. lol.

Lance brought his new girlfriend home last weekend.  She seemed delightful, though she seemed terrified.  Sheesh, no one should have that kind of power over someone enough to terrify them.  I tried to make her feel comfortable.  We even went out, just the girls and went to go see Pride & Prejudice.  WHAT A GREAT MOVIE!!  After the movie, we just sat there and dreamed a little.   Yes, I found my Mr. Darcy.  The girls are still hoping...  By the way, the theater was packed, and there were only 2 guys on the whole place!! ...wonder why??lol.

I am ready for Christmas.  Well, almost ready.  I just need some stocking stuffers, like candy & clementines...

Tomorrow, we go into the city for our annual family Christmas in the city day.  It should be fun.  It is the lastest we have ever done it.  Still, its before Christmas!  Anyway, on that note, I should go to bed.  May His blessing be poured out on you & your loved ones, now & always.  ~ madeleine
