Goddard Dinner
Tonight was the Goddard family holiday dinner. Brandon and the kids went, and it looks like they had fun! Our new HVAC system (both units!) was installed today, and Brandon and I did some shuffling with who was here for all that drama this morning, so I could get to the hospital where Steve was having an abdominal drain installed.

Read MoreFrozen on Ice
Today it was finally time to see Frozen on Ice, after buying our tickets many months ago! The kids were very excited about going to the show.

The kids each got a cake to decorate from Nana, and they went to town on them, just covering them with icing, sugar, sprinkles, and even adding some graham crackers to make doors and windows so they could be like gingerbread houses. I felt lucky to have the...
