crying because she's not here to sample the 4-piece snack!)

Positively green, green, GREEN with envy!!! Laughing that Opus has Bojangles, crying that I don't, and SICK that I couldn't enjoy this trip with you all! Everybody looks wonderful, healthy and so happy. I can see by Russ' face that he's seen the mix-up. Aaaarrrgghhh! I wanna be there!
Missing you all, and wishing you a very merry Christmas!
Love, Karen
Time is flying by much too quickly, but we've made good use of every minute. Tonight we went to a special service at Forest Hill. We've had several great meals out at Lupie's, Buca di Bepo, and Pie Works.
It's 10:30pm on Christmas Eve and I both love and dread morning's arrival because that's when all the anticipation and fun turn back to reality.
Am missing the rest of the family this Christmas, but am so glad Kris and Houston were able to make it. Before bed tonight, I read them all "Twas the Night Before Christmas" in my best British accent (which turned out to be more Australian).
Now it's time for a long winter's nap. Good night all.
Russ
