We do that every single year that Janneke goes to New Orleans within a week of the holiday. And this next one happens pretty much always, year in and year out - watching the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special:
Hot cocoa, a raging fire, and two-dimensional characters. Sounds like the German romance novel set in the Wild West that Janneke and I once read to each other on a long car trip. Reading the part of the well-endowed young ranch hand in German with a thick cowboy accent is an experience I'll never forget...You kind of had to be there.
Tie was just in her room singing "Over the Rainbow" to herself as she tried to fall asleep. It was torture trying not to go in there and squeeze her - her little falsetto voice wafting out is like nerve gas for one's steely parental exterior. It just crumples to the floor instantly.
Half a day of teaching tomomrrow, and then it's vacation time! Picking up the turkey and watchin' some football Thursday. Go Pack!
