Of course, we do have the weather to contend with (it took her 36 hours, several train rides, a car ride and a ferry ride to get home) and my toe. A glass jar fell on it tonight and it's swollen and sore and I'm not entirely sure I can get my shoes on now. But as my mother quipped, the jar didn't land on my wings so I can still fly.
Did you know my mother also dances?
Don't be jealous, not everyone can have a mom as awesome as mine. True story.
Also, Emma and I had the following facebook conversation about the Christmas episode of Bones:
Emma: So I finally got around to watching the lastet episode of Bones and I thought it was super funny that her sister played her cousin. It made me giggle the whole time. Amyway, I love yuo bunches and bunches!
Sarah: I giggled too--especially at all of the comments that they looked like they could be sisters. It really doesn't take much to amuse me, sad but true. Miss you bunches and bunches too! (ps: we're more awesome as sisters than they could ever dream to be! :P )
Emma: True that! Double true!
So this summer Emma, Anna and I wanted to make our own "episode" of Bones. Emma wanted to be both Angela and the dead person. And she would come up to Brennan and hold up a picture of herself and say: "For some reason, this face rings a bell and I can't quite put my finger on why..."
The three of us thought it was hysterical.
Then again, "snuffalupagus" makes us giggle, so...you know.
And reports are trickling in that my Christmas cards and packages are actually making it to their destinations before Christmas which is great news--I didn't have high expectations of the Spanish postal service, probably due to the fact that everyone working in customer service in Spain acts really offended that they have
Today the first and second graders had their Christmas show at school and they were adorable. I took video of every performance and lots of pictures too--which I won't be uploading online so you'll have to find me when I come home this summer and I'll show you then. Although...I suppose I could upload the staff band playing their songs...oooooh...that would be fun.
I'll work on doing that sometime over Christmas break :D
Merry Christmas everyone! I'll try to record a Christmas-y video-blog with Sabine as my special co-host!
