Awake early, but missed Skype call from Cousins!

I'm awake at 5:30 a.m. French time and missed a call from the California cousins!  (I am asleep at 8:30 p.m. most every night)   Will have to catch up with Tom when he wakes up about their conversation....but in the meantime, I'm learning French...in case you missed the youtube post, here is a fun way to learn French!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAMuNfs89yE and with the words:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=d9V-zUlrhEE.  There is so much fun stuff to discover here!  Happy Holidays to all our friends and family in the US.  We have had a wonderful Christmas with our friend Pilla (she was at our wedding almost 40 years ago and was a college friend of Tom's).  Love hearing from everyone!
