White-fish cake

Hello Family and Friends,

We enjoyed supper last night at Don & Isy's house. John & Evelyn and Johnny & Cindy were also there. We especially enjoyed a new cake brought by Evelyn. We called it the white-fish cake because that is what we thought it was... a white fish... and she even threw in a secret ingredient. Family, it will be worth your phone call to her to hear this story in person! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Friends, I'll tell you about it when I see you next! We didn't get to stay as long as we would have liked, the kids had their Christmas program practice to get to.

Tonight Madison had indoor soccer practice. When I went back to pick her up she was the last one there and asking what took me so long! Apparently her practice ended early when her coach (possibly) blew his knee out. It's not often that Madison has seen a grown man cry so it sounds like it must be pretty serious. That's really too bad. She said the whole practice field got totally silent. I hope it's not as bad as it sounds.

Nate was over for about 1 1/2 hours to play. They enjoyed hot cocoawith marshmellows on a rainy cold day and played indoor baseball around our "circle".

Tony is still at work, it's currently 8:45pm. He has a bunch of things to get done and tomorrow morning I have to leave for work (a meeting) by 6:30am so he can't really go into work early. He is more of a night owl anyway but it's no fun to be at work for 14 hours out of your day.

Well, that's all for tonight. I need to go tuck the kids into bed. Take care!
Love to all, Leah
