Somehow, we made it through the week and have reached Christmas vacation. Phew.

The girls are celebrating by having a lot of people over. A has Charlotte over tonight (and went to a gingerbread house decorating party at South's house earlier) and M has Sophie, Phoebe and Jamie here. It's midnight and N has just gone to bed after watching the Kennedy Center Honors while Daddy and I stuffed Christmas card envelopes. 

It has been a long week and we are glad to be ready for vacation on Sunday, when we leave for LA. Tomorrow: packing and organizing and wrapping presents at P&P and a Secret Santa party for N at Ayan's.

Tired.
