We had a good drive out. The weather is great too. It is raining right now, but I love it. We are sitting outside the library and using their internet to talk with James in Paraguay. He sounds exactly the same and for a second we got to see him too on Skype until it became a conference call. We got a free tree on Christmas eve at Fred Meyers. That was great.
Had a fun family party. First we went ice-skating. Next we decorated gingerbread men and finished with a white elephant game. We had 20 come to the party. Thanks for all the fun!
