It's the most wonderful time of the year!
And the BUSIEST!! But I like it like that! I've been pounding the pavement the past week and I'm happy to say it was all good and we are still on track! Last Sunday, a few of us Americans went to Sarah's for a SECOND Thanksgiving dinner! It was really nice and the food was GOOD! Quentin was into everything, as usual, and grabbed a clementine from the platter. The above picture was his reaction to the bitter peel! He's so adorable right now! He grins and starts chattering whenever I come to see them.
He's a little monkey and climbs onto everything! He's watching Ester twirl and laughing hystrically!
I put chocolates in all the drawers of the Christmas calendar I made and the person who's name is in red on the scedule that day gets to open a drawer. About half the girls have laid claim to it after it's empty.

Today: I have this weekend off which I am really, REALLY thankful for!! Teresa L-W and her friend are coming in this afternoon for the Christmas concert tonight and staying with me! She leaves again tomorrow afternoon so it will be short but sweet! I have lots to do before she gets here though, so I'm going to get OFF the computer and get GOING!
I'm SO glad you're coming home! And if you have a hard time deciding who to give that christmas calendar to, and want an excuse, you can always say, my shipmate in DE wants it, she actually NEEDS it and you know how pregnant women can get :) !!! SEE YOU SOOOOON! I'm going to be looking out of the window ALL day I think! i.e. if i remember :) my days are kinda confused these days - i haven't done the milk in the pantry thing yet this time though :)
Hi Teresa, so cool to read how you are doing! Christmas time sure is the most wonderful time + busiest too... But I sure love it! Have been listening to an old CD you gave me a few years ago for about a month now - just can't get tired of it... ;) Makes me think of you every time and I just wish you could come over for a cup of tea and a chat. :)
Looks like a wonderful Christmas month. Have one question: 'So, are you bringing home a Kransekake?' You made me really hungry!:)
