You sure had it pegged right about your busy agenda for the holidays. Just know how much it meant to us to have you here and share you all with the Albrecht and Zachary clans. We have agreed we will be finding white styrofoam pieces in well hidden corners until July from Boonga and Ella having so much fun with it. Who needs presents when kids like boxes, wrapping paper, and all the boxing materials.............. Oh, also add under your bio "well-loved daughter-in-law"Peace.....
