We had a nice xmas. B didn;t wake us up until 7 am! One of me personal favorites were the punch ballons. Hmmm...B and a monkey...Z with fat rat, thin rat! And, of course, new village pieces.

On another note, for those of you who know our "family" here in PA, you may have been amazed at how accepting they were of tofurky at Thanksgiving. We learned something just as interesting last night - they like veggie black bean soup. More so than the meat-filled stew. Uncle Charlie is still talking about it, apparently.

The girls and I are lookng to head up on Sun (but this is weather dependent). We do not want to have a repeat of last year's return voyage on New Years Day.
