Yesterday the family let me stay in bed until 10:42 a.m.! It was glorious. I had gotten up and was getting dressed when Nathaniel came in the room.
He put his hands on his hips and said, "WELL. I guess we'll have to make you waffles for SUPPER instead!"
Oops. I guess they were planning to make breakfast for me. Maybe next year! Sleeping in was an even better gift.
