185.2 So Happy!

Jeff and I are both so tired, but it is such a good tired and we feel so happy to be with our grandsons even though we are so tired! It is really wonderful to spend time with our family. Since we live far away from our kids, it's very special to all be together.

Today our daughter Alee and her fiance Scott arrived. It was great to see them out here! Alee was so pleased to introduce Scott to her aunt and uncle and to her three nephews, Lennox, Alex, and Julien. The kids were so friendly and I could tell that they thought Scott was very cool immediately.

Lynsey also arrived today but is fighting a stomach flu bug so we haven't really been spending time with her. Hopefully, she'll be feeling much better tomorrow. I felt so bad for her. Jeff shared a great idea with everyone at the dinner table. He thought it would be fun and a gift to give if we went over to where Lynsey is staying and sang Christmas carols to her. The kids loved the idea and we practiced a few familiar carols and off we went. Then we went and sang for one of our neighbors. I was the choral conductor and Julien was my assistant! I think Jeff helped us all have another great memory.

And, tomorrow, Miranda and Jud and their little daughter Zuzu arrive! Then we will all be here.

So I won't write again for several days, maybe even a week.
Happy holidays to all and to all a good night!
