Merry Christmas
Here are some photos from Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We had a great morning with "just" the six of us and went to Carol and Stan's for a nice dinner with the Keyes and Tim, Gina and Bridgett.

A Writing Sample from Thomas
I published Thomas's memoir from the publishing party (below) entitled My Trip to Legoland. This is an incredible piece of writing and he typed it all himself, too. Here's what his teacher Mrs. Barad had to say about it:

- Thomas' writing demonstrates exceptional strength in the use of dialogue, descriptive detail, and sense of story. He uses powerful verbs like plunged, careened, jolted, rumbled, and rocketed. He is very creative with his descriptions, as in "brain-exploding ... turn." Altogether a natural writer, I'd say!

My Very Own Wiki
Remember Wikipedia? Well now I am hosting my very own Wiki. The only problem is that it has no purpose. Feel free to play around on it if you have a hankering for publishing something on the World Wide Web.
