As I went to upload all our Christmas photos, I realized they are all on Keith's computer still. The first week of break, we were pretty much snowed in, with over a foot of snow! The second week, every one got sick (except for me). We couldn't even get together with Grammy and Papa Jack until New Year's Eve! We had a bit of a meager Christmas, since times are tight right now. Of course, the kids don't notice. It's amazing what inexpensive things you can find that impress the kids! Amelia, however, had been begging for an American Girl Doll. She was convinced that Santa was going to bring her one, although I tried to brainwash her otherwise! (the dolls are $100!) But Santa (Grammy) came to the rescue and found a look-a-like for $20! Amelia named her "Charlotte" and is totally in love with her "Un" American Girl Doll and doesn't even know the difference!
New Year's Day, every one was beginning to feel better, so we went to a Klesmer Band (Sasson) concert. The kids LOVED it (and so did we!). We danced for a couple of hours – Keith felt like he was back "with his people!"
