England, December 4, 2009 (Day 19)

Today there were lots of errands, a delicious lunch of sausage, bacon, egg and cheese on a scrumptuous baguette from the Village Shop in South Warnbrough, shopping, another trip to Newlands Farm for more Mars Christmas Treats, the Hook Cracker (everyone agreed it was a crappy fair), dinner at Waterwick (beef and bombadier pie with mash and brown gravy - YUM!) and finally - decorating the Christmas tree! There was also a little last minute laundry and packing because we are going home tomorrow. It's been a fantastic trip but it's always nice to get home too. Of course - we missed snow in Houston today!!!! I can't believe I missed snow in Oslo, it wasn't particularly cold in England and I missed the one week of winter in Houston!

Tina and I also traded pictures and here are a few I didn't have from the day after Lillia's birthday. These are of Lillia opening the presents that Joe and I gave her - specifically, the quilt that Doug and Mom's friend, Ann, handmade for Lillia. My mom picked out all the squares and it is darling!!!
