Wrapped In Love

Last night was our favorite activity of the week--Square Dance Lessons! Al even called a few dances to Christmas songs. We all gathered together while holding hands in a big circle, and sang Silent Night. "Just like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir" said Al while he smiled at me. (We are the only LDS people there.) Towards the end of the evening, they called our family up front. The whole group presented our family with gifts for Christmas. We feel very blessed to have so many friends and neighbors supporting our efforts and our family.

We let the kids open one of the gifts. They all received fleece blankets for their beds, or to watch TV. All of the kids are thrilled, and they totally love them. The kids have been wrapped up in their blankets all day. We want to thank our friends for the warmth of love, friendship, and blankets. You are truly loved and appreciated by our family. And hey, who knew that you could actually find 13 different colors of fleece in New England?!?
