Dearest Chris... You make me homesick for Grandma Crawford with her large live tree that was short and stout just like our family!!! I love that you have so many traditions, even for the everyday (SF Tues, PO Wed, etc.), and it\'s wonderful that there always seems to be something to celebrate!!! I love this life we all get to live!!!
Had a great day today getting the remaining cards written (40 going out) gifts organized and wrapped, and a nice box coming to CT... Fashionably late, but the final things just got gathered with my shopping!!
How many tickets for the lottery wreathe? I forget what you do each year... It would be a nice thing to do for my Mom next year! Relaxing this evening and will sleep well tonight after my buzy puppy day!!!
Love to you and everybody in CT tonight!!! Please tell Mom and Dad and Kayla and Taylynn and ALL, HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY CELEBRATION!!! xoxoxo Cj
