Well, it’s early Tuesday – and the snow is falling fast. D and I are supposed to fly out to visit his family tonight, but I don’t know if it’s going to happen. I mean, I’m sure it will happen eventually. The question is when. How long will we sit at the airport? We’re stocked up with food and comfy clothes. We figured out how to pack only carry-on bags (which we will probably regret when we have to return home with new Christmas gifts… not sure how that will work).
Last night we swapped Christmas gifts. I got the best Christmas card ever. I also got a bunch of fun new books, one of which – a new Wayside Stories book – we are going to read on the plane. Yes, we are that weird.
We packed and got the house ready for our departure. I had a “grown up” moment last night. K, a little girl who lives across the street, is going to watch Boo and Kanga (the gerbils) for us. As I was jotting some instructions and writing the check, I thought, “Oh wow. I’m one of those grown-ups that has pets that need to be taken care of and the kid across the street does it for me. Weird.”
I know, I know. I should have realized it before now. David and I are adults. But still, when I actually think about it, it's strange.

Hey Friend! Did you make it to your final destination for Christmas?
Also, I thought I'd tell you that I was thinking about you recently as I was contemplating buying a children's book for a friend of mine who is single and doesn't have kids. I know she loved reading it to my kids when she was over once and I thought about how much I loved it when you gave us "The Giving Tree." It's gifts like that that are meant to last a lifetime...and they do!
Anyway, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
