Happy Holidays to all of you.
Have a nice month of holiday cheer with your family and friends. Drink some eggnog, enjoy the lights, sing along to a holiday tune and give your honey a kiss under the mistletoe.

Take care of yourselves. We need you!
Susan and Cathy

P.S. Make plans to visit Olympia during session and continue to talk to your legislators
about Parent to Parent in statute.
