Well, I don't think Luna's first Christmas could have gone any better than it did! Even if she seemed to like playing with the wrapping paper and gift boxes more than what was inside them at times. But now she's got enough things to last her for the next several years, thanks to Mum and Dad (the first grandchild gets completely taken care of!). It ( Read more... )

I think this might be the earliest I've ever completely finished my Christmas shopping, but I picked up something for my father when I was out with Mum this afternoon and he was the last person on the list.

There aren't enough of us as it is.

 Chris and Celeste are getting married AND THEY ARE HAVING A BABY. (Like so many other people, apparently, but.)
