Merry Christmas! I saw your Mom last night at the VHS Holiday concert which was wonderful… were your ears ringing? Your Mom is so proud of you and we are both impressed with your ability to capture your experience so we feel like we are sharing it with you. Apparently Amanda and Rory are following in your footsteps doing very well too!

Merry Christmas!

We miss you, especially at the holiday gatherings.
Much love, Peeps
