I love the holidays. I really think they should just skip Halloween – who needs it? Magazines should be filled with tantalizing Thanksgiving recipes starting in September and let’s deck the malls with Christmas in October. Every year, I can’t wait for the holidays. Until, I get to New Year’s Eve. It’s kind of an afterthought for me. I am somewhat of a New Year’s misfit. After Christmas day all the relatives take that “holiday feeling” home with them and…

The kiddos check in by phone with any or all of the who, what and where and a picture. The more info they give the more points they get. If they check in this is what I would see below.
