Josie attended her first holiday party this evening. She's decked out in a snazzy sweater dress and snowflake tights from Grandma and neat-o Mary Janes from Nana. Josie was the hit of the party tonight which was no wonder since she was being her usual cheerful, smiley self
Ruffle butt!
The Newberry party ends every year with a really nice raffle with lots of prizes. For years, Jack never won anything until his losing streak was broken a few years ago with the winning of a Dave & Buster's $10 gift certificate (Dave & Buster's is an arcade-like place across the street from the Newberry). He also one year won a gift certificate to Bed, Bath and Beyond but he traded it for whiskey. This year, he won some tickets to a live taping of the NPR show Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me. I've been before and it's fun, so I'm happy with this prize. Here Josie displays the winning envelope.
There's a rumor in Jack's family that they're related to Ulysses S. Grant (the "S" stands for Simpson). Jack says the rumor is false, but you can see that he and Ulysses have a very similar hairline. This is one of the paintings in the lobby of the Newberry.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any cuter, I scrolled down and saw the ruffle butt.
*I got your eee lec tri city right away. I assume you'll get mine.
Congrats on wait wait don't tell me. If you fly out and drop Josie off, we'd be happy to babysit.
