We're visiting Omi and Opa in Minnesota. It's not any colder than it was in Massachusetts... but we're due for a foot or two (!!!) of snow in the next 3-ish days, so that should be interesting. It's been a travel-delay-a-palooza: our flight here was canceled and we were rebooked on a flight the next day (due to the East Coast's big snowstorm, though Sam had a BLAST sledding with J. at Fresh Pond), then our flight to Detroit was delayed so much that we missed our connection, and came *this close* to spending a night there, but made it standby onto a later flight. Whew! and Beanie only screamed for 15 or so minutes total, and here we are. She's got a cold, poor thing, so we are loving the NoseFrida (we left ours at home, silly parents, but my mom had bought us one for Christmas, and gave it to us early, and boy is it useful for sucking the snot out). Plan for tonight: marshmallow toasting over a nice fire, hot cocoa, and gingerbread cookie baking. Plan for tomorrow: more of the same, but substitute decorating for baking, and add paella (a recently-added Christmas Eve tradition of my mom's), tree-lighting (with real candles, making J. hover with the extinguisher for the entire 15 minutes they're lit) and gift-opening.
Hope you're having warm, bright, sweet, and relatively booger-free times, wherever you are and whatever you're celebrating...
