Hart Happenings

So, I was a huge fan of the Christmas party. It was a riot. The kids had a blast picking out books, making snowflakes and gingerbread houses, and acting out the nativity. And I had a good time visiting with all the siblings and their spouses/fiancées. The food was delicious and it was fun to recognize mom's achievement. I also got really excited to hear the Manning's announcement. Yay!

It was nice to relax after a crazy week. We decided to set up Alex's parent's house as an Airb&b location so we had to stage the whole thing and do some cleaning. Mom, you blessed us all with high standards in the cleaning department and in this instance it did not serve me well. It turned into a monumental project. But it looks nice and clean now. Still some things to do but we have it booked for weekends all through January 3rd. 

Things are nice and cold here. We spent the evening walking around the neighborhood caroling with some good friends of ours. It is a fun tradition that we look forward to. 

Not much else to recount. Just doing all that fun holiday stuff. 

Sure love you all. And my apologies to Nick for not wishing you a Happy Birthday. I had no idea you even had birthdays!  Now I do and I can put it on my calendar. I hope it was a wonderful day!
