one final check.

Nothing tops The Grove in LA at Christmas time.

We caravan-ed up to show Judy (Frank's mom) just how Southern California does snow.  In 75 degree weather, we all danced around as the machine-pumped soapy snow bubbles fell magically upon us while Sinatra sang in the background.  Ohio's got nuthin' on US!

And with that our holiday to-do checklist was complete.
