I don't have an angel to set atop the tree, and Avery has no idea who James Cagney is. But to warp one of Cagney's more famous movie quotes: "Look, Ma! I'm on top of the snow!" And the tree.
As the only girl in the grandchild chain, Amelia is surrounded by boys, which makes her the center of attention. And the tree.
Some day, the Four Horsemen — clockwise from upper left, Vincent, Jack, Patrick and Luke — will get to SEE snow instead of just being flakes themselves. (And they'll find out how c-c-c-c-c-cold it is, and see lights on pine trees instead of palm trees.) For now, though, they are the snowdrift holding up the tree.

Beautiful! Hope you had a very merry, Mike. Best wishes for the new year, too. Stephanie
Lucky, lucky you! and lucky kiddos to have a grandpa like you. I strolled by houses on my street at 7 a.m. Christmas morning with my dog in tow, and overheard shrieks of delight from little children opening their presents. I declared to my family: "We need some little kids in this house!" My two twenty-something daughters replied: Don't start, Mom!
All in good time, I suppose ...
