Last evening (I'm writing on Sunday.) Jenny and Mark took the kids to the mall to visit Santa. We would have liked to listen in on the conversations. I'm sure our grandchildren had an earful for Santa. Jenny sent us this picture last night. Left to right: Jackson (9), Margaret (almost 3 already!!), Santa's special helper (ageless), and John Michael (6).

We spent the week getting ready for Christmas. A few decorations outside. Some final shopping. Christmas letters and cards. Nothing really worth a picture of the week. But, thanks to Jenny, we can bring you this one.
