Just checking in to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and happy holidays!

I'm so glad to be off work today! It has been a nice relaxing day for the most part. The girls have been watching Santa travel the world on the NORAD Tracks Santa website. If you haven't seen this before, check it out! It's a lot of fun. They also loved getting special video messages from Santa today through Santa's Portable North-Pole console. Ahhh, the magic of the internet.

The girls enjoyed making the foam houses shown in the photo above. I have to share a little story that's slightly related... This afternoon, Georgia let out a scream in the living room and then sneezed several times. That was very strange so I thought I'd better take a look up her nose. Sure enough, there was a piece of white foam stuck up her nose. We tried a few times to get it out with tweezers, but she would not stay still enough even with Neil holding her head. The foam shape was quite far up and I didn't want to make it worse, so we decided she had to go to a clinic. By that time, she was very upset and didn't want to go. As we wrestled her into her coat and boots, she was crying pretty hard. Voila! Her crying helped push the foam shape down a little bit, so I was able to grab it with tweezers and she didn't have to go to the doctor after all! (For inquiring minds, the foam shape was a rectangular box, about 1.5 cm long and 0.5x0.5 cm wide.)
