We’re getting on an airplane bound for Kansas in a few hours to give Huck an old fashioned celebration with his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.  Because of this, the three of us had our family gift opening extravaganza last night complete with Shirley Temples, and Huck has already begun his winter break!  I took him home with me after this morning’s delightful Family Breakfast in his classroom where there was much hugging and giggling and singing.  Huck’s homework for the next week: Bring a postcard from Kansas back to school on January 3rd.  I think we can handle that.
