The day after Xmas...

Dear Nicky,

Yesterday was such a tiring day. And today was little better. Early this morning I opened a bunch of your toys. In order to reduce shoplifting, toys these days come wired into the packaging, which makes it hard and annoying to open them up, but what can you do? Your nanny came and Mom and I took off for most of the day. We went to the movies. We hadn't been to the movies together in over a year. Too bad the movie we saw was really boring. It was called The Good Shepherd, and it was about the CIA. Very boring! And long! Gosh, seeing it took up our entire morning. We also went to Target and got you some clothes, and I also got some rechargeable batteries and a memory card for the camera Mom got me for Christmas. We tried to see a James Bond movie, but it was sold out. Darn it! When we got home, Mom gave you an avocado to eat. Junie had a runny nose a little. We hope it's not what you had last week, but I don't think it is. You kids are way strong anyway, you can just shrug this stuff off.

Love,
Dad
