We had our annual holiday get-together with high school friends Betsy and Shirley and their families, with lots of kids joining us this year.

We had a gift exchange with Sarah, Andy, Jeramie, and Michael at Andy's house, then went out for a good dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant, Chevy's.

Got to do my favorite volunteer things - selling at a bazaar to benefit International Street Angels of the World. Sarah, Judy and I cleared over $600 for the kids in need - and had fun doing it!
P.E.O. friends Bette and Martha and I got to go to the annual holiday decorating for Sterling Ranch, home for 18 developmentally disabled women, in Skull Valley.
