My husband had to work a double shift on Christmas, so we celebrated two days after. We did stockings before he went to work Christmas morning. He got me an owl (I LOVE owls!) fan from Japan. Now I just have to learn how to snap it open like a dragon queen! He also got me this beautiful owl tile that we saw in Canada and he made a nice frame for it. The Wednesday before, we went to visit one of my sisters and her family. We took the kids (11, 9 & 3) to see Coco and then dinner.

New Year's was awesome! We went to see the final performance of LA Nouba (a Cirque du Soliel show). Since it was the last performance after 19 years here at Disney, they had some really special features. Before that we ate at the House of Blues. Yum!!! I was dreading traffic getting out of Disney and then the highway home, but it wasn't bad at all. We got home right before midnight. Then the neighbors started with the fireworks... Which were nice for the first half hour or so, but got old about 2 AM.

So, now that I gave you WAY more info than you wanted, I will end with one more amusing (though not to me at the time) tidbit. My husband was gassy all night and was letting them go along with the music of the show. He was so proud! He timed them so they "sounded" with the drums. Ah, men... Don't you wish you could have been there?
