So this was a couple weeks ago when John and Dannell’s Christmas tree went over, water everywhere, glass breaking, huge, disappointing mess.

Some kids slept over because it was their parents company Christmas party. So we had a party of our own here, very fun. They had energy. This is their very favorite. These girls played American Girl Dolls for a long time upstairs. At bedtime we changed the sheets in James’ room, all fresh beds and

We made it across town in traffic with time to spare, and the choir concert was just beautiful. That such young children could sing so beautifully–I was impressed. Our guy had a brief solo–nailed it! So glad to be there on a cold night. love, Grandma and Grandpa and Julia too
It was the Christmas program at their school, as lovely as always. Our guy is the tall blonde one over to the right in the plaid shirt. These things make him nervous, which kind of makes him extra adorable. This guy has taken up the violin and this group played beautifully. And then his guy’s
I do like looking at winter. Aaron, your office: This very sad thing happened to John and Dannell’s tree–fell right over. This is not the firs time. This happened to Heidi years ago too. Thump. And that’s the end of the night. Nothing but love, Val
