Merry Christmas xoxo Michelle Kwan

[MichelleWKwan]

Hi Everybody!
Phew...I made it out of Denver just before the blizzard. I hope everybody is having a great holiday. My sister Karen and her husband had an early Christmas party at their house. Unfortunately Karen and Peter will be going to the east coast to celebrate Christmas day with the other side of the family. It was so cute to see my two neices dance around the Christmas tree. Olivia is almost three years old and she is finally understanding the concept of Christmas. Her favorite thing is to help EVERYBODY open their presents. ha ha.....My parents gave Olivia and Sophia matching pink jacket with white fur trimming. It will be perfect for them when they go to the rink to skate!
I am planning to make Christmas Eve dinner at my house....I made a deal with my parents that if I cook they help clean up I am trying to enjoy all the time I have with my family and friends before I head out to Denver again. Winter quarter starts up pretty soon....then it's time to hit the books again.
My hip is feeling a lot better....shhhh....I snuck onto to the ice the other day!! I plan on getting back onto the ice soon. There's no work out like skating....I prefer the rink over the gym any day
I want to wish all of you a wonder Christmas and a fantastic New Year!! I miss seeing all of you!

(((((((((((Michelle))))))))))))

Merry Christmas hugs to you!!!

You made my day by posting. I cannot possibly tell you how happy I am to hear from you that your hip is feeling better.

And I couldn't be more thrilled to hear you're back on the ice. I skate too and I totally understand how there is absolutely no feeling in the world like the blade gliding over the ice.

And nobody makes it more beautiful to watch than you do.!!!

Enjoy every moment of your holiday and every second on the ice.

I look forward to seeing you skate again, no matter what venue you choose to do that in.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Denise

Some of us are reduced to tears when we think about how much we miss seeing you. You do something totally other-worldly on the ice that just steals our hearts.

Missing you more than you'll know.

hugs,

Denise

Thanks for thinking of us in your time with your family. I am glad you got out of Denver in time and thankful your hip is feeling better. I bet it is nice to relieve some of that pain. I am happy that you can enjoy the ice again. Plus, I am glad you are having a wonderful time with your family. Time with family is so precious. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

P.S. Now when my kids get older I will get them to clean up after I cook. Ha-ha.
P.P.S. I hope you are making all "A's" in school!

Thanks so much for posting here, Michelle! I really miss seeing you skate but I'm happy that you're doing well. I'm really glad you made it out of Denver before the blizzard!

Good luck with school next quarter!!!

[epoibim]

Michelle!!!

Thank you so much for posting. It just blows my mind that you took the time to send us good wishes and give us an update. It is so wonderful to "see" you and hear how well you're doing.

Your neices sound adorable! Little girls are such fun to buy for, aren't they?

I can't tell you how much it warms my heart to hear that you are feeling better and skating again! Please do me a favor - as you grace that ice, imagine us there...probably with signs ...giving you the standing ovations you so deserve.

Thank you for everything you mean to me.
Merry Christmas!
Love,
Erin (and her second graders, who ask about you on a regular basis!)

Oh Michelle! Merry Christmas and a Happy Happy 2007 to you too. Thanks for stopping by. I thought about you possibly posting soon earlier today. I guess I am kinda physic. LOL. We love and and miss you so much and hearing you are happy brings a huge smile on our faces and makes our holidays that much brighter. Strange how one person has so much power to make people happy. Have fun with the little ladies in your life and don't feel too bad sneaking onto the ice...we know you love it.

Looking forward to seeing YOU soon.
