Boxing Day
Whew what a crazy Boxing Day today...and we didn't even go shopping. (thank god) In the US it's the day after Thanksgiving that is Black Friday, here in Canada, Boxing Day is the equivalent- the biggest shopping day for Canucks. Everything is priced to go (but if you wait till January it's even priced to go further!)
I had a nap...oh sweet glorious nappage...and then it was off to the Amos Christmas party which always signals the end of stuffing ourselves till we can't even fit a wafer thin mint in our mouths holiday burptacular.
Gracie has discovered that she can say "No' now and is almost saying 'Up' as well. And we're pretty sure she's got a HUGE crush on cousin Mike who we saw when we went to pick up his new CD (PrizeFighter- "Come Hell Or High Water"...in stores soon!!). She sat on the stares at his house and couldn't take her eyes off him.
Tonight while I was loading music back on the hard drive and recompiling lost files, she patted me on my knee and then the chair next to me and so I puller up on the chair and she pointed at the computer (her signal that she wanted to hear some music)...so we just sat and sang and played...then we watched her movie that I made for her and Shell had to run into the room to watch too...because it makes us both weepy.
I got even more weepy when I saw the beautiful picture of Beckie's new baby, Sadie Rose...YAY!!!!! She wasn't due til tomorrow but apparently wanted to get here before Xmas...
2005 there was just bunches of babies in my circle of friends and it looks as though the end of '06 to '07 is going to see another spurt (as it were)...Sarah is due in a few months, as is Alison and Laura...jeepers.
One of my friends posted a list of the ranking of days for birthdays and GG's (September 15) is 8th overall and the next day the 16th is number 1...my first thought was...well sure September is the 9th month so that's all those babies conceived between Christmas parties and New Year's Eve parties....something about the silly season that get's people all frisky I 'spose.
Who knows...maybe Ginny Grace will get her a brother or a sister next September...suddenly I think I need to be somewhere else :P
Cheers
