Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I am home in Rochester, and watching my nephew Milhouse (the dog). He is a cutie! Since not many friends were in town until yesterday, I have been going to the gym and helping out Grandma. I also volunteered for 2 afternoons bell ringing for the Salvation Army.

My family has a tradition of opening one present early. I got a pnk Kitchenaid toaster so far! Woo hoo! I have most of the pink Kitchenaid appliances, so I am pretty happy to add one more.

I hope Santa brings you everything you wish for! Happy Holidays!
