Now I have that out of the way. Today my cousins from New York came over. They are still young enough to want to play "make-believe" games, especially the 9-year-old girl, who is in to being the heroine in such magicky games. It was fun. Also we made chocolate-covered pretzels. Tonight is the Christmas Eve service at my church, and tomorrow we're going over to my grandmother's for dinner and such. The only disappointing thing is the weather; I hoped for some snow or for it at least to be chilly, but it is very bright and beautiful, and not in the least bit snowy! Ah well. Tomorrow it's supposed to rain, too (yikes). Hope everyone has a nice evening.
