Celebrating a New Year

The Evans mansion was very different this holiday season.

"…He went all the way, didn't he?" Gloria slightly cringed as she walked around the garden with Cynthia who was leaning some of her weight on her mother in law and the other part of her weight on the walking cane.

She laughed with all of her heart until tears came out of the corner of her eyes, "But auntie, look at how happy John is?"

Her boy was running around and giggling between the solar power Christmas candy cane lights that decorated the way between the inner and outer gates of the mansion. There were lanterns, reindeer, elves, and then many trees that have turned into Christmas ones.

Cynthia laughed again, "I know it's not to your fine taste, Gloria, I just think he went all the way for our little angel,"
