Darin surprised Ellie and I tonight by bringing home a huge Christmas bouquet!! They were for me for my birthday tomorrow, I think. And for Ellie, since she is missing her big performance right now--and missing the roses we would have presented to her afterwards.
Little Ell has been pretty miserable all day. I just tucked her in to bed wearing her fleece nightgown and robe, and with soooo many blankets. She was shivering from her fever. Poor little thing. She is so sweet--she knew I was bummed that we were missing her big performance--so she wrote me a note. "Dear Mom. I know that you were loocking forwird to be seiing me puform the nutckracher. Love Ellie"
There will be other years and other Nutcrackers. But there will never be such a sweet little girl missing her big performance. We spent the day watching movies, eating raspberry sherbet, reading Christmas stories and lounging about. (Much to Logan's dismay!!! Darin took him out for some night-sledding to help get his pent up energy out!!)
