Despite my protests, the girls made sure we celebrated Xmas this year. I bought the girls an artificial Xmas tree so they could decorate it on Laura's birthday - something she liked to do. Not quite the same as going out to a tree farm to cut your own as we used to do in Duluth, but it did the job. I also took Nick and the girls to Samoa during their Xmas break. Some photos of our Xmas in the tropics.....
