Since Christmas is around the corner, my family will be opening up gifts I collected on our trip, which will make me think about it even more. I broke out my CC holiday shirt (it's a kids large and so darned cute, I got a matching pin that matches!) and wore it. I got one for Jack, but he doesn't have a clue. heeheee
I'm still kicking myself for not getting the new CC towel for the kids. What a dope! Well..guess I better go back again and pick one up. heehee Is it the summer of 07 yet? Wait! Shoot! We won't be going there. UGH!!
When they did the Western Coast cruise, do you know if they had special merchandise?
BTW....my family LOVES Alex!!!

He was our server on our first cruise. We learned a lot about his family. Very touching. Then when we saw him at Palos, it was like we ran into an old friend. The kids got to see him at the old Scoops (what's it called now?? Surfer, Longboard? Paddle me hard? I can't remember!). They were tickled!
I still think it's totally funny that my server, Julio, looks just like Billy Bob Thorton (or Mark Messier if you are a hockey fan).
Paris doesn't want to take her braids out! UGH!! It's looking a little scary. I told her let's "unwrap" it on Christmas Eve....and your new fluffy, wavy hair can be a Christmas present. She's thinking about it. At this rate, I'm doing it when she's asleep!!!
Big smooches to all and a politically correct "Happy Holidays"!
Kitty
