Rome!

What a YEAR!

While Paul and Elle tour Italy, we celebrate the end of the year with a big wedding! A friend's daughter Theresa (who is also a classmate of Elise's) is getting married this afternoon at Holy Family. The reception is in Ripon, with a champagne toast at midnight. This will wrap up a wonderful year...a new grand baby, Eva's engagement, a new nephew, lots of travel, and the Badgers and Packers at their best! Tomorrow we host a luncheon here with family, and say goodbye to Elise, James and the girls. Monday afternoon will find me with some great friends hosting the Rose Bowl game...I think it's because I have the biggest TV :) We have SO much to be grateful for!
