We had a lovely dinner and program Christmas Eve. We even added a game. Rich got gifts from the dollar store and I wrapped them, then we sat in a circle with the gifts. Then while he read "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" and each time he said "the" we passed the gifts to the right and when he said "and" we passed the to the right. It was fun because even the little kids could do it. At the end every one got to open their gift.

Buchanan family singing
Sophie reading "I Believe in Santa Claus"
Logan playing "Silent Night" on the trumpet
Connor and Ayden singing Jingle Bells
The girls singing "A Mother''s Lullaby," unfortunately they didn't have quite the accompaniment they are used to. Apparently, playing the piano has gone the way of ALS.

the best part of the evening was skyping with Michael!
Hillary brought a gift from her and Michael - a video of him that she prepared. It was awesome! We were crying even before his call. It was so great to see him and know that he is healthy and happy.

It was a very nice Christmas Eve. I was sorry I couldn't cook more. The decorations were great and the food was delicious! Your home held us all nicely for the dinner and program. The kids were sweet doing the nativity. I loved all the program participants. I liked Ric's new game. The kids loved doing it!
I secretly wish I could do all that you accomplished on the 30th. You really were ready for the new year. Proud of the good you do dear daughter!
