Merry Christmas to you all . Hope it is a good one. Of course how could it not be? You have a little one and they make the whole thing complete! Enjoy every minute and happy new year too. By the way, what is your new address?

I want to try the formal dinner with my girls. When Kat and I went to IKEA, I bought cheap stemware for the kids to use this holiday.
