All home safe and sound

The kids all returned last evening, very happy and very safe. They had a wonderful trip. They had received gift cards for Christmas to the Notre Dame bookstore and enjoyed making their choices. I love that JC chose a Notre Dame headband and earrings of the leprechaun...so cute! The highlight though, was clearly the locker room tour and being able to walk out into Notre Dame Stadium. How amazing for them! They even got to touch the "Play like a champion" sign that hangs on the way out. It was an incredible experience. Unfortunately, the men's basketball team lost to UConn, but they had pizza afterwards to drown their sorrows!

I am very, very grateful to my sister for being able to give my kids these opportunities. She's often not terribly nice to me, but there is absolutely no question that she adores my kids and is really great to them!
