Dear Friends we have not been good about getting out cards. Christmas and the holidays (also summer vacation) have been good so far. School starts again in early February.

We went out to a tree farm and picked out a nice tree, and this year we sprung for a tree stand instead of a bucket so life is easy. Here's Andrew picking out ornaments. You can't hardly tell it's a chicken, but next to the star is a chicken. We like it.




This one kind of sums it up, eh? Andrew is on my back and I am on a ladder trying to get the star on top of the tree. Barbara is....

directing the operation?




Happy holidays to you all.
