A Few Days After Christmas (Photostory)

 It's December 28th.  Danielle had to return an item to the store.  She wasn't looking forward to the after Christmas return crowd, but she was anxious to get it done.  Jacob insisted on tagging along, much to Danielle's dismay.  He surprised her by being an absolute angel.  They have just returned.

"Let's go, Jacob.  Hop down." (Danielle)

Hmmm.  Looks like Danielle did a little shopping. 

"Hey hon.  Whatcha doin'?"  (Danielle)

"Hey.  I was just gong to fix the kids something to eat."  (Rod)

"What did you have in mind?"  (Danielle)

"Nothing fancy.  Just some sandwiches."  (Rod)

"I thought you were returning stuff."  (Rod)

"I did, but you know they always have great sales after Christmas.  I couldn't resist."  (Danielle)

"Hi mom!"  (Julian)

"Hi, Julian!"  (Danielle can't see him, but she knows exactly where he is)

He is out on the patio playing with his new mini pool table Santa brought him for Christmas.  He also received the blue basketball court in the corner.  It's a good time to mention that Danielle wasn't too happy about the size of the pool table.  When Rod said he was getting him a small pool table, this is not what she had in mind.

"Move back, Jacob.  I'm getting ready to hit the balls."  (Julian)

"Have you figured out where we are going to put that pool table?  I had something else planned for that area."  (Danielle)

"Uh, I'm still working on it."  (Rod)

"Where's Nicole?"  (Danielle)

Just then she hears Nicole upstairs, playing with her Christmas gift.

Her new electronic keyboard is her favorite gift from Santa.  She recently started piano lessons and this will come in handy for practicing when she's at her dad's house.

Happy New Year to All!  Please be safe out there tonight.
