My 9 year old twins have just discovered the pleasures of picking out and wrapping presents for others and my 11 year old will get to help her parents be Santa this Christmas eve and arrange the Claus presents for her three sisters.<br /><br />In my house the magic extends to Hanukkah since, as my youngest puts it, "We're half n' half." She was jumping and jiggling this morning chanting "Two more days 'till Hanukkah and Latkes."<br />Tis the season to revel in the delights of parenthood.<br /><br />And asking to be wrapped up?

I like that Imperia's style. Can't wait for her to take over the world. <br /><br />--- trystero49Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36486960.post-21685115732905292142006-12-08T11:21:00.000-05:002006-12-08T11:21:00.000-05:00Hey--I have an eggnog recipe if you're interested....Hey--I have an eggnog recipe if you're interested.
