Christmas 2009



So Kaitlin did a very sweet thing this Christmas. She gave up something to Carmen that Carmen had really wanted since Kaitlin's birthday in October. She did it without prompting. You have to understand that Kaitlin has a hard time giving up anything. She did it once with a necklace and now once again. I was so proud of her I could cry. She was also so sick with stomach flu that she opened presents then laid on the couch the rest of the day. Poor thing.



We had a very nice Christmas. All of our family and extended family were very nice and generous. The girls loved all their gifts and although we each took a turn at the stomach flu. Kaitlin then Carmen, then me and then Archie. However, we were happy and sharing time together.

We are soo glad that you were able to spend some quality time with extended family. We hope everyone got over the ILI (Influenza Like Illness). Lots of love your way!

Your girls are so incredibly darling. We sure miss you, but I love that I can get on here and feel like I am still in touch.

Glad you had a nice Christmas, tummy ache aside.

Kaitlin and Archie came home with this surprise from the grocery store. Kaitlin REALLY wanted to give them to me. She is very sweet and thoughtful like that (and so is Archie to take her with him and let her do this). Tulips remind me of Seattle a lot. Every spring about two hours north of Seattle, there is a tulip festival we liked to see.
