Post-Holiday Shopping

Keep those cards and letters coming...


This is where we get our mail. It's among a whole row of mailboxes just down the hill from our house. I guess the post office policy of "through rain and snow and wind and hail" doesn't include slippery roads. The same goes for school buses in our neighborhood of course.

So far, not a lot of itching from chicken pox girl. So I'm starting to wonder if it really is the chicken pox. It resembles more of a rash than anything else, but it's covering most of her torso. Hmmm.


We went shopping at the mall last night after Stephen got off work and Donald got out of his movie with his girlfriend who was catching a flight last night. The kids had Christmas money and gift cards to spend. All in all, it was a nice shopping excursion. Tess got some new basketball sneakers and a big American Eagle bag of clothing. Donald got a pre-wrinkled plaid flannel shirt from the Gap and a Nike ball cap. Alicia May got her first Nordstrom's bag filled with on-sale socks. :o) We're thinking she'll be a Nordstrom-type girl. We'll have to venture to the other, bigger mall to go to the Baby Gap and use her gift card...


PS Happy Birthday Aunt Dorothy!
