Dear Woolly Clan,

Here's the latest saga of the Cole family in Italy. It's our Christmas Special. I don't expect to win any awards, but it is cute. Steven steals the show at the end.

We may not get to go on our Rome shopping trip. We need 30 people to get our special price, but we only have 15 paid. We need a small miracle to pull this one off.

The kids are ready to go back to school. I've enjoyed the late mornings, but I think I'm ready for them to go back, too.

We're looking forward to the Arkansas production, too.

Have you started packing yet?

Love,

Jeannie
