Harry Connick Jr Concert

Harry Connick Jr in concert

What an amazing pianist and singer!

Scott & I after the concert

For Christmas Scott bought tickets to see Harry Connick Jr in Concert. Last night we attended the concert in Fresno, and it was amazing! He sounds incredible live, he sounds just as good live as he does on his CD's. He didn't have any back up singers, it was just him and his amazing New Orleans band. Wow, can he play the piano!!! What a fun night.

We are sprout folk. Sprouts run through our kitchen.

Grandpa Ernie, Grandpa Ernie, how do sprouts grow???

Sharon & Ernie always give unique Christmas gifts. This year we received an asparagus cooker, which is really cool, and a natural health guide and kit all about "Sprouts". The kit includes seeds, and containers to grow your own sprouts. So, we have sprouts in salads, sprouts on sandwiches and sprouts in soup. We've never been so healthy!

Opposites Attract

Farah modeling her Anthropologie Dress

It seems they seldom agree, Falyn likes Juicy, Farah likes Anthropologie. Falyn takes things serious, and Farah takes 'em light, Farah goes to bed early, and Falyn parties all night! Cuz Farah moves slowly, and Falyn is fast! Farah likes it quiet, and Falyn loves to shout, but when they get together it just all works out! Farah likes it neat, and Falyn makes a mess. Farah takes it easy, Falyn gets stressed! Farah's got the money, and Falyn's always broke. Nothing in common but this trust-one's like a minus, one's like a plus! One going up, one coming down, but they seem to land on common ground.When things go wrong they make corrections to keep things moving in the right direction. Its true- this- Opposites Attract

December 27th We attended the annual Terrill Family Christmas Party in Monrovia. We had a delicious spaghetti dinner, and for dessert birthday cake (Thanks to Uncle Harry & Scott for having Dec. birthdays) and ice-cream. The Nativity was reenacted as we sang Christmas Carols. We enjoyed seeing Aunts, Uncles, Grandmas, Grandpas, Cousins and Friends.

Merry Christmas to All...

Dr. Suess – How the Grinch Stole Christmas
And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.

We had a a great Christmas. Grandma and Poppy arrived on Christmas Eve, we ate dinner, and then drove to Riverdale to watch the nativity reenacted. We especially got a kick out of the camel. It was a fabulous performance. We returned home to play charades and read Christmas stories. We indulged in English Toffee, apple pie, ice-cream, and apple cider. Christmas morning we were treated to breakfast by Grandma & Poppy. Fresh oranges, biscuits, eggs, country potatoes, and ham. We enjoyed the 71 degree weather as we opened our gifts. We surprised Grandma & Poppy with tickets to see Chris Botti in concert. Then they surprised us with a Flip Video Camcorder, and real 1/2 kt. diamond earrings for all of the girls! Falyn got the Juicy Couture purse she wanted; and Farah got the jacket from Abercrombie & Fitch that (she convinced me months ago) had her name on it! The gifts are wonderful. But being together as a family and celebrating the nativity... priceless.

Our Anniversary was Friday, December 18th. Scott surprised me with reservations at the Anaheim Marriott, and dinner at "Napa Rose". Saturday December 19th, was Scott's birthday. We spent the day at Disneyland, it was so much fun. They gave Scott a "Happy Birthday Scott" button. All day long people kept saying "Happy Birthday" it was a lot of fun. Sunday we drove to Lake Elsinore to visit Heather, Steve, and children. Heather made a delicious dinner, and we discovered that Scarlett is quite the dancer.
