White Christmas

..in NY for Christmas.... The snow is falling, its about 25 degrees everyday, and my little one is having so much fun playing with the cousins she rarely sees! There are cookies and candy and lots (and lots!) of presents! Ahhhhh... I love Christmas, but I must say that I love a white Christmas even more. We have been sledding and playing in the snow everyday - it's so much fun.

And, of course, I brought my camera with me...but I forgot the cord to connect it to my computer! So I have all these great pics, but I will have to share them and add them once I get back home!

More later! :)

Aquarium Visit

As a preview to Sean's Christmas present, Miss M took him to the Aquarium of the Pacific! They watched the divers, touched the sharks and starfist, watched the seals (otters?), watched movies, had lunch, and got to be in an impromptu parade in the main hall. Sean even got to "meet" the AOP mascot (Miss M was too afraid to go up and hug him).
More later!

Christmas Hangover

Hahahaha! Christmas hangover is exactly how I feel - - basking in the glow of all my presents - and, of course, of the presents I have given. What a wonderful Christmas! Miss M had a TON of presents and that was fun. I'm not sure she can even remember everything that she got - will have to ask her tomorrow....if I remember.
She did get fun stuff: a stroller for her baby, a kiddie laptop (so she can play on her own laptop while I am on mine), a bingo game, checkers (which, suprisingly, she actually understands!), lots and lots of clothes, a necklace, new shoes, lots of dora toys, a new doll, and a little pony carousel - - and that's just the stuff that I remember!
And I got wonderful stuff - five (!) soy candles, that vegan bible - Veganomicon, a pressure cooker, two CDs (Franz F. and Kings of Leon), another cookbook, a new wallet, new pieces of china, the perfume sampler from Sephora, and a (sigh!) Glen Ivy gift card. Then I went yesterday and got a beautiful pink smart phone. <- I wanted the new Sprint phone made with post consumer materials - but, grrrr, they were sold out! The guy told me that they have a list of people who are waiting for one...so, I am on the list, but in the meantime, I am so so so happy with the new phone that I have...so awesome! I love it! I used the pressure cooker today to make lentil soup (from, of course, Veganomicon). I also made the Cheezy Sauce and Broiled Tofu and the Tofu Florentine was for breakfast this morning....ahhhh! I love that book. Everything is so good.... Tomorrow is little Sean's bday party at my mom's and then Tuesday, I am taking Miss M to Disneyland (but, I think I will just drop her off with my parents and then come back home to clean and pay bills, and maybe...do a little cooking...hahahhahaa - I don't think I will be able to resist!). Late, late, late right now. More later! :)
