A Christmas Wonderland
Well - a great blizzard has hit the Northeast - and a goodly part of the rest of the country too I've heard. We're positively GLEEFUL here! We just got back from a nice late evening (9pm) walk to the mailbox to post a letter to New Jersey! We have about 9" since noon, and it is 12 degrees! Whoopie. Can't wait to ski tomorrow! 
David finished up work today until 2009! Yes, that's right - not laid off, no furlough, just vacation until January 5th. Here he is giving praise to Allah - - - and drying his pants from working out in the snow. HE HE HE!! He put the plow on the truck after work for the first time this season! We'll need it tomorrow to clear things out! It's kind of a wet and messy job after snow is already on the ground. 
Last night was the Winter Concert at school. All of the 3rd, 4th and 5th Graders (about 270 in all) were great. Grace sang, Ingrid sang, and also had her flute debut with the band. About 60 of the 5th Graders are in the band - and doing a great job of learning their new instruments. Grace is in the back row directly under the right-most overhung star. Ingrid is 3rd from the FAR right in the back row.
I FINALLY finished making their sweaters - my first for them. I started them in April. Thanks to Lore for inspiring me to try lace (Grace's) and a sweater-in-the-round for Ingrid (it's truly a giant circle with sleeves). They love them and I'm so grateful for that.....they'll actually wear them! Here they are before we left for the concert in the new sweaters and Christmas skirts. r
