Monday, December 8

We stayed in pajamas all day and had an official school holiday of relaxing. I could hear arguments in another apartment and thought about the people all over rushing their meal preparations and traveling to see family for the Kurban Bayram holiday, and felt pretty nice just sitting around in pajamas. After a morning of Lacey and Maren playing online with Brian, Ashley, Greg, Roy, and company, we sat down to a sewing project: our stockings.

Then we watched Tinkerbell on the big screen, but this time with full sound. It was like watching it for the first time, and Lacey and Maren continued to comment, "That's not what I thought she'd sound like!" and "Oh, that's pretty music." It was like it was the first time they'd seen a talkie instead of just a movie or radio show. :-)
