Mom,

Still in bed at 9:47 AM??!

What did I do to deserve such a treat?!

Christmas Came Early This Year

We've been kickin' it oldschool in our house. Ever since Adam cleaned out his dad's car and found this:

Oldschool Gameboy COLOR (neon green) complete with Legend of Zelda game cartridge. SWEET!

Cookie Crazy

Adam: What did you do today?

Katelyn: Make Cookies.

Adam: What else?

Katelyn:

Cookies, cookies...aaaand.....Cookies.

Dana: Literally. That's ALL we did.

Beautiful Day

Today was one of those perfect days.
I got an early Christmas present from one of my dearest friends. She took Katelyn and I (and her two daughters) to a performance of the Nutcracker. It was the most enjoyable Nutcracker performance I can remember...for a couple of reasons. 1. The company (I love Bertha's family like my own). 2. Katelyn loved it, and that made me happy. 3. It was condensed (to cater to the children). 3. In between each scene they explained what was about to happen (also for the kids). 4. Santa was there.

After the ballet we ate lunch at South Coast Plaza...

Then we were off to a recital that one of Bertha's daughters was playing in. Zach and Adam came along as well. All of the performers did an excellent job. I got a couple of pics before my camera batteries died.

Afterwards Katelyn went back to Bertha's house for an impromptu play date. Adam and I jumped on the opportunity to get some Katelyn-free Christmas shopping done. It was wonderful! And we got a good chunk of our shopping over with, so I am stoked.

Thank you Bertha for such a perfect day!
