Ethan and Ehlana:
Happy not-really-belated 6th Birthday, Yvonne York!
Naomi’s video chat with her cousin happened after our last update and while we were still on the road; so we did offer her our best wishes during her birthday party.
This report is pre-football, but we’re writing it early because we might not have time to do it later. We got to Cassie’s townhouse in good time last night – though only some of us made that stop while everyone else headed for the hotel. Our first visits were fairly-short because Michael and Tim had a game-night curfew, so we had fun with that while we could; and then Cassie and Rowen hosted a Christmas movie and chat night for us – and Naomi and Aiden while everyone else moved on to the hotel too. We stayed up too late; and then wrapped up our day with co-ed sofa sleepovers for the two junior couples while Cassie and Rowen went to get some sleep with their own favorite cuddle buddies.
We were up early for Tai Chi in the back yard; met up with our entire gang for breakfast; and then Michael and Tim had to get to the college for team-related work while the rest of us went Christmas shopping for the morning. We couldn’t do that with our entire gang, so we split up into smaller groups. Cassie was with us for a lot of the shopping fun while Rowen helped to entertain her family, Tim’s, and some friends from home. Michael’s cousins were with us for some of the time too, but Sophia Bassett was the only kid to hang out with us all morning. This round of Christmas fun has been very different from our usual annual trips to Crystal Springs, but we still managed to get a lot done this morning; and then we had a fast food lunch before going to the hotel or Cassie’s townhouse to drop off bags and freshen up ahead of the mid-afternoon football game. We’ve done all of that, and will be heading over to the college stadium soon; so that’s all we have time for this report. Stay tuned for the rest of the weekend news with our next update – including all of the family and teen drama stories; and, until next time...
...this is Ethan and Ehlana Proctor; live from the hidden home of the Magi of the Light – and May the Magi Force be with you!
