It's 7:30 and all are up except Jill, young Hayden, talking up a storm as usual, Evie and Drew on their IPads, Halle on Jill's Ipad, the happy household in the morning. Where's Norman Rockwell to paint the picture of the modern American family on an early tech morning. It's already 47 outside, sun shining brightly, a perfect day to enjoy making cookies inside.

| Decorating Cookies |
Yesterday, the girls were off at noon and Drew came home early. So both Jill and Drew went off shopping and Hayden had a girl friend over, Kate, to decorate cookies, though they ended up dancing to the 'music' out on the back deck it was so nice out. After a dinner of farfalle, sausage, and peas, Jill's specialty, the girls and Evie and I went out for our evening walk, to look at the lights, despite the fact that it was raining. Coco was soaked by the time we returned, so we had to dry him well with a towel. Jill and Drew went off to a neighbors for a small gathering, and Evie and I put the girls to bed, watched some TV and went to bed. As we were trying to get to sleep, we heard a scratching at at the door, the dog Coco. We opened the door, went back to bed, and he popped up on the bed, snuggled between us, on the pillow, and settled in for the night. Fortunately, Jill and Drew soon came home, so he jumped out and went off to them. I think he found another bed for the night, as he seems to alternate between the girls beds and Jill and Drew's. Now he also has ours.

It's hard to believe Christmas is in two days because it's so mild but it looks as though it's this way across most of the US. Not too many White Christmas's this year. The girls are excited, of course, and cannot wait for Christmas. They, like all our grandchildren, seem happy and excited no matter what they get making for a fun Christmas Day.
