So the other day Romy asked what makes a rainbow. I really hate the science questions. But I got lucky that Dane was there and could field that one. He went on and on and talked about the prism effect et cetera and I had one of those parenting moments where you can't believe how big your kid is getting. She's so smart and interested in things. So then yesterday she asks me if people live in the North Pole. So I start telling her about the North Pole Environmental Observatory and how people CAN live there but really only under super controlled conditions. Yeah, you guys all probably figured out she was talking about Santa Claus. Damn. Way to go, Jenny. Bah-****ing-Humbug.

I'm not a total Christmas failure, though (at least not yet - haha). I've been baking like a crazy person lately. I've decided that instead of doing two nights of nonstop baking marathon like I usually do that I should start early and just do one thing each night. So far I've made four poundcakes and a batch of almond crescents that require and extra super grande cup of coffee to wash down. They're fabulous, but for some reason I ended up making them really ginormous, and really, nobody needs that much shortbread all at once. Ever.

On a different topic, I talked to Amity last night. For those of you who know the Goldings, Kevin has been moved to the care center across from Utah Valley hospital and is doing a bit better. She says he's progressing but that they really want to get him more physical therapy each day to kind of speed things up a bit. So, good news, all things considered, and it should be easier to visit him now that he's a bit closer to home.

Anyway, I've got some more pictures to post. I'll try to get to those tonight, but don't set your watch by it or anything. Nothing major, just some fun stuff to show. Love you all and hope you're surviving the Christmas crunch!! (Sounds like a snack. I think I'm hungry.)
