...Because a blur was how it really happened. How did it get to be 2010? However, we have the pictures to prove it - Christmas pageants where the girls were angels at one church and a sheep, cow and singers in another; parties at our house, Grandma's house, Sylvia's, polka dancing at the Monte Cristo;
rich foods, special treats, wrapping paper, chaos, toys, thank you cards. Bettina's favorite gift? a digital camera, Ava's? a stuffed chinchilla, Alessandro's? a basketball set.Lots of fun, celebrations and late nights. Santa came, left presents, ate his cookies and even drank his egg nog. A memorable month, indeed.
Too bad we had to start 2010 with a very sick kid. Alessandro finally appears to be coming off of a truly horrific stomach bug. Laundry, laundry everywhere, but not one item clean. On New Year's Day, Bettina came down with a fever, but no real menacing bug yet (fingers crossed!).
