Christmas Christmas Christmas!

i made mom's classic gingerbread last night for a little dinner party at our place. oooh i bit in and felt like i was sitting in villa park or sundance. it was amazing.

it snowed! :) but didn't stick. :(

this is beautiful and makes me think of les and steph.

i have 14,000 out of 100,000 words written of my phd thesis. HA.

we leave for Germany a week from today. hurrah!

and! look what delights we got in the mail today! grammy sent toni and me these amazing little Christmas tree ornaments with pictures from our wedding, our very first ornaments! i'm totally in love.



Merry Christmas!

i love those ornaments! grammy sent us some, too. they are perfect. also, i love that you had a dinner party in your little teeny flat. :) i had to stop making gingerbread because people here are crazy and they don't like it!

yes les i painted them! it was so much fun. glad it got to you ok :)

steph - i know what you mean. my friends did like it, but i think our family has an unusual love of molasses. our eastern roots? i could eat the stuff all day long! and we have dinner parties quite often, funnily enough - it is so tiny but toni and i have gotten so used to it we can't imagine what we'd do with more space. hehe :)

love you guys!

Haven't made gingerbread yet but the anticipation, like Winnie the Pooh says, is also good. By the way I suppose AA Milne went to Oxford too! Mom
