Abbey's first sleepover went down a few nights ago ... they staged a Zombie Vampire prom, complete with dance floor (leftover vinyl from our new bathroom floor), crowns, crepe paper, "blood" punch (red Juicy Juice in grandma's glass punch bowl), Taylor Swift (because of course zombie vampires dig her tunes) and chaperones (me and Tim).

They wore my dresses (from Mollie's 2nd wedding and Addy's a few years back) and used my makeup to get all undead/dead.

So what I'm wondering is, would this be normal for 9 year olds? Or should I be worried? Maybe it's cabin fever?

Not sure I could do much better now.

Merry Christmas Eve from the SD Deep Freeze!

(no, not you Smither.)

AHEM...
