Merry Christmas to all

Fondue

Birthday party

Today was L's friend Quinn's birthday party, and it was held on a farm in Orange County. Quinn's friends got to feed the chickens (and watch Quinn's dad hypnotize some of them), ride horses, and try a totally new mysterious food called 'cake'.

"Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens..."


When do we get cake?

Congestion

We all have colds this morning. L woke up wailing. "I can't smell! I can only see through my eyes, and that's it!"

Santa train

Tonight L went for a ride on the Santa train at the Museum of Life and Science with Wells, her old friend from Kin. We had hot chocolate and got some Santa light sabers, rode the train and saw Santa and Rudolph.

Good eye

This morning L spotted from the bathroom window a heron on the neighbor's chimney, no doubt pondering which fish to snatch from the large pond in their backyard.

Dad: "Lu, we're not going to regulate how much candy you may eat this year, we're going to leave it up to you. But if you get a tummy ache, we're not going to be sympathetic, and we don't want to hear about it."

Lucie: "Well...tummy aches go away..."
