There was a surprise waiting for my little ladies when they got home from school today!  A special Christmas package from Aunt Jenn, Uncle Josh and cousin Eli!  They were so excited!

They both got a gorgeous new outfit - which they will look amazing in!  Livie got some adorable Hello Kitty sheets, and Grace got Frankie Stein from Monster High!  Both girls say a big "Thank you!" to their auntie, uncle and little cousin!

There is a lot to be said for the patience of grandparents.  They put up with so much from their own kids, and yet willingly let themselves be a favourite plaything of their grandkids.  There is nothing a grandparent likes more than to be the centre of their grandchild's attention.  And here, for your viewing pleasure, is just such an example:

It certainly started out innocently enough... but all three looked ready to go into battle in complete warpaint when they were through!

Today was the first day back to normal.  For everyone but me, that is.  Everyone was back to work (except Jeremy!) and back to school.  Lucky for me, Jeremy was off today and we could spend some time alone together.  And it was wonderful!
But, I missed my girls and couldn't wait for them to come home again!  They spent some quiet time together watching a movie on my laptop: My Neighbor Totoro.  A great movie!

So cute!

If you look closely, you can just catch the side of one of my crutches in this shot, between the armchair and laptop...?  I am still coming along slowly, but much better than this time last week!  I am sort of hobbling/walking with my crutches tight in my grip.  I am getting around more easily, but am still swollen, stiff and sore.  Still any improvement is better than no improvement!

I thank you for your get better vibes and well wishes!
