Boo hoo!! We just learned with an email received that the girls' preschool Christmas program is Thursday December 18th at 7:00pm!! Though I said, "we went last year and could skip it," I was told no......so no Talberts will be present to greet Baby Grace and family home!! I'm so sorry as we were really looking forward to it.
blessings,
Cathy
