Home for the Holidays

I'm going to Vermont for week to spend the holidays with my family. It's going to look like this:

hopefully that means we'll go sliding, maybe skiing, and I've been promised that this year, I'm allowed to try my sister's new snow shoes. I'm hoping for snowball fights followed by hot chocolate and cookies (in that order). Mostly I'm just looking forward to seeing everyone. And especially a few faces when they open their presents.
And of course, I'm bringing home several special books to read during the week, is seven too much or not enough? I'm thinking it's just about right...but we'll see.

Happy Holidays Everyone
I'll be back soon with my thoughts on Forever Princess
