A week ago Sunday we had dinner with Alexander and his family. Sadie noticed they still had unpoened gifts underneath the tree. Ransom explained this was because they celebrate Russian Christmas – January 6th – as well as American Christmas. “Can we do that do?” Requested Sadie, “Because I really, really, really like Christmas!”
I really, really, really, liked this Christmas, too. On Christmas day Sadie and Frederick slept in until about 8:30. What a gift to me & Dad! Another highlight was a few mornings before Christmas. I was surprised to find the house silent and Sadie’s bed empty when I awoke. Where could Sadie be? Turns out she was in the kitchen happily decorating her gingerbread house.
