Okay…not yet. But we’re getting ready!
Paris has always had her own Christmas tree in her bedroom. Each year, we set up the Big One, and we set up one for her. Santa always leaves presents under both trees, so as you can probably imagine, the Bonus Tree is quite the bonus!
Today was a bit on the chilly side in Paradise, so Paris broke out the cold weather gear. We managed a high of 67 degrees, but hey! 67 is chilly in Paradise. She’s had the hat since she was two –

We’ll continue getting ready for the Big Day!
Speaking of Big Days, we’ve got a Big One coming up this Saturday! Army-Navy 2009! This is “Beat Army!” week at the Academy, and we always do our part to participate. Raise the banner!

John Gallen will be pulling for Army at the game, but we don’t hold that against him. His Dad and his father-in-law are both Army vets. Even so, we know that deep down inside he’ll feel a sense of pride when Navy kicks Army’s ass!
Right John?
John?
Hey, you Northerners! If it’s chilly and/or wet next Saturday, send warm thoughts to midshipman Mark! He’ll be entering the Stadium early for the march-on, and then he’s in his seat until the end! Last year was cold (if I recall correctly), but this year may be better! And for anyone going like John is…be sure to catch the march-on. It’s one of the coolest traditions in College football!
Go Navy! Beat Army!
