We have lived next door to them for six years.  We moved in at the same time.  We have kids around the same age.  We get along so well that we put a gate in our fence so that the kids can come and go between yards.  We even go on vacation together.  {For some reason that cracks me up}.  Anyway – I like how it came out – and I feel very lucky to have such good friends…

{oh, and sorry to publish your holiday card photo Mon… hopefully no one will see.  I really don’t think anyone looks at this @#$%& blog anyway}
