Christmas Day

I must begin by expressing gratitude for Pam and Dave for letting us live in their house for these many months.  Our favorite time of year to be in their house is at Christmastime.  It is fun to have the banisters decorated, the mantles crowned with lights, and the fireplaces roaring.  Of course the house is not as special without grandma and grandpa, but we sure felt their spirit during the holidays.

Christmas this year was very simple.  We kept the stress over gifts to a minimum, but made sure there was plenty of good food around.  Haha!  The gift worth mentioning were the homemade stuffed bears that Aunt Jessica sent for the kids.  So thoughtful and creative.  Thankyou Aunt Jessica!  Joseph gave me tickets to see tap phenomenon, Savion Glover, perform.   The concert was just last weekend. Perfect for a preValentine's day date as well.  Good thinking Joseph!  Savion is from New Jersey, so his style was very east coast and brought back lots of memories.  Despite being labeled as all the greatest tap dancer of all time, he was a very gracious performer and even brought out the lowliest backstage hands to personally thank them during the show.
