We had a Dance Party while at Tom's.  I went to the kitchen for a minute or two and came back to find a line of kids waiting for Jayson to swing them.  Jayson, Madalyn, Ellie, Beth, Katie, Tommy, Alli, McKenna

This is the coat my Dad's Mom made for me when I was a little girl.  It now fits Katie just perfectly and I have Grandma's matching coat.
