Tara and Todd were home over the weekend and all of us, Todd, Tara, Carli, Jeremy, Kelsie, Ted and I went out to dinner Saturday night and then to see the musical "Wicked". We had so much fun! We count every time that all of us are together such a blessing. It was so fun to be crammed in the van, laughing and talking the whole way to and from Cleveland.

Sunday was spent going to church, going to lunch with Carli and Jeremy and then caroling with a fun group from our church. We had 4 year old twins with pink guitars, two ukeleles, guitar, rhythm instruments and lots of willing voices singing to folks from our church and to folks at Glendora Nursing home. We even sang a Hawaiin Christmas song! It was weird to be at Glendora knowing that is where my Dad was supposed to be. But, he is having a much better Christmas in heaven!

Then everyone came back to our house for sloppy joes and hot chocolate. It just is so fun to have families and those of us whose kids are grown coming together and sharing something as simple as caroling. We are so blessed!
