Happy 17th!!! Only a month to my birthday and a WEEK to Christmas...this may be the best day of the year! Oh the anticipation!!!

More Christmas presents! I went a little crazy with Christmas shopping this year, but I kept finding good stuff. So the calendar is all these really cool old posters of fruits and vegetables from different states, and I'm going to give that to my mom and dad (I think for their anniversary present - their anniv is on the 30th), I got Rachel Julia Child's autobiography, eat/shop boston, and the Best of Broadway (she loves to listen to it at work and I always give her crap about it), the Smurfette lunchbox for Nadja (inside joke), and I'm going to fill the Hello Kitty one with cookies and bring them to L'Espalier, then let Louie and Jiho fight over who gets to keep it.

Look at all my Christmas presents! The golf stuff's for dad (obviously), the shirt's for Ben (you like it? I love the inside of the cuffs!), and the little scottie dogs are magnets that I found that I'm sending to Molly and I'm going to sneak one into my mom's stocking (she needs a little surprise from Santa too).

So I got chinese takeout the other night and the lady gave me two fortune cookies which made me kinda sad. Luckily the scallion pancakes made me very happy! I opened your fortune, but it wasn't a keeper. Oh well.

Kind of a random pic. Always liked this one. Miss you.

I really love this picture. Maybe you can fly to Boston by balloons...

More baby pics! This little cutie is my other new cousin (so many of them, hard to keep track)...Miles Paul Rubenstein, son of my cousin Eric and his wife Carly (I'm going to have to draw you a family tree one of these days). Max likes the sunbathing pose too, strange...
