We are back from our Christmas celebration with Big E's folks. There is something very liberating in having Christmas on your own timeline. Everyone was relaxed and we could choose our night for Christmas dinner. The girls had a great time (even when Big E "squeezed the pee" out of little e while wrestling in the hallway). Santa did a special visit (Grandma R has the connections, let me tell you), and we got to have a second round of stockings. And, I watched Elf with Will Ferrell. It was funny. Really funny, and I am shocked to admit it, but I really liked the movie. I am even tempted to add it to our Christmas movie collection.
