Update on Nikki...

Well Nikki is feeling better this morning. Better enough to lie on the couch restlessly and be cranky... so I have spent the day sitting next to him and rubbing his head. Poor kid.

All-in-all it has been a surprisingly nice birthday, given the circumstances. Ian got the day off so we all lay in bed until 11:30 watching Christmas movies together. Nikki and I spent the afternoon on the couch while Ben and Ian did a little shopping and decorated the dining room. Ben went to the church around the corner for an afternoon of crafts and a pizza party while Nikki napped. Right now I am sitting in front of the fireplace and Nikki is watching Diego... Ian is bringing Ben home early so we can open presents and have a little cake...

Glad to hear that.
The eve of your birthday did not sound either promising or peaceful.
We just came from NY. The Time Square is full of huge adds for the movie Ben is going to see on his birthday. The adds do look very cute. Hope it is a good movie.

I didn't realize that you and Natalia share a birthday. Happy birthday! Glad that Nikki is better and that your day did turn out nicely.

Yup. You can imagine my excitement when T went into labor on my birthday! Ben was actually due on my birthday, too... but he decided to wait another week.

I remember Ben's late arrival.

I'm sure your mom wishes she were with you today as I wish I were with Natalia.

I love Dec. and all the sappy Xmas movies on TV.
