In preparation for Christmas, two angels showed up to help us get the house ready. Millie hung the lights and garlands on the porch, and Emily decorated the tree. Tender mercies™. Lucy Jane had a long layover in SLC on her way from France to ABQ, so we picked her up and spent the afternoon with her, joined for dinner by Madeline. The Youngs arrived shortly before Christmas and the Colvers popped in for a minute while they were in South County for Daniels grandmother's funeral. Christmas went according to tradition with food and tons of cousin time with the Soelbergs. Dorothy and Kreg hosted a lovely brunch in SLC for the Hansen cousins, and we had New-Years-Eve-day brunch with the Youngs at Provenance in Provo. We, as is our custom, went to bed early on NY Eve: it was midnight somewhere in the world.
