Croquet, Anyone? — Steve Demaree

The third installment in the Aylesford Place series brings more laugh-out-loud moments, some serious times, a look back at some of the memorable times from the past, new neighbors, and a new activity for the street's residents to participate in, an activity none of the neighbors had participated in before this year. Plus, in addition to the well-known holidays that are celebrated on the street each year, the families on Aylesford Place are given several little-known holidays to celebrate. Not everyone received Umbrella Day, Backwards Day, and some of the others holidays the same, but those little-known holidays that dealt with food were quite popular. And all but one of the street's residents enjoyed Christmas caroling and the feast that went on afterward.
