What a Christmas present!

Russ and I are at a point in our lives when we are constantly trying to weed out excess "stuff". This year we are giving each other the obligatory socks, spatulas, and candy as stocking stuffers but there will be no presents under the tree. All of our money needs to go for 2x4's, spackle, wire, and sheetrock. But we got a wonderful gift when James contacted us with the news that he needed to be in Washington, DC for a week just before Christmas and was willing to find a flight here to spend a weekend with us. It happened to be the same weekend we had planned our family Christmas party down in Cincinnati at Ammon and Victoria's so he was a pleasant and very welcomed addition to the group!
