Christmas Eve

Baby health update: She's fine! She had a fever for a couple days and woke up on Day 3 with a normal temperature. So she's back to her cute little self again.

Food talk: I'm 2 for 2 recently on the making of perfect boiled eggs! Yesterday I whipped up another batch in my standard, arbitrary timing method. And voila! Perfect again! Consistent light yellow hard boiled yolk and shells that peel off very nicely. Okay, it's the small things that keep us going...

This morning I colored my hair to deal with those solid grey roots... Back to dark blonde again! Yay!

I'm on my way to my LAST DAY at JCPenney! Double yay! This two job thing (especially during the holidays with 3 kids and a hubby at home...) has not been one of my better decisions! Live and learn.

We saw The Nativity Story last night as our final Red Night activity. I enjoyed it except that Alicia forgot her role of dozing off during the previews not to awaken till the final credits... But it worked out. FYI, Red Night is something we've done for a few years now. We make the standard Countdown Till Christmas construction paper chain out of various colors. When the link is red, we do something special that evening. In past years we've picked random activities out of a hat. This year I just made something logical up on the given day.
