Hope you and your family had a great Christmas. Thank you again for the gift. It was definitely unexpected but appreciated greatly.
I just wanted to give you a heads up in case this escalates any further. I woke up this moring to an unaddressed, unsigned letter in the mail box, saying on several occasions there has been a high amount of noise coming from the house at late nights and early hours of the morning, and that if something isn't done about it, further action will be taken. This is the the first we've heard of anything regarding a noise issue.
We have no idea as to why this note was left, save for possibly the 24th, Tyler had a small chrsitmas eve party, which the music was turned off, and never overly loud, by 12 and everyone was gone by 1. Also on Christmas, Tyler made dinner for himself and 4 friends, but they were gone by 10:30. Other than these two occasions we rarely, if ever, have anyone over and are not overly loud people ourselves. I get home late after working at the theatre until 1-3 am most nights and am usually the only one awake. I sit on the couch and play video games for an hour or two, with the volume low enough that I don't disturb those sleeping, and can barely hear it from where I sit.
Tyler has had one band pratice, over by 9pm, and will sometimes play his drums until about 10, though I can only recall this happening a handful of times. Generally he plays in the afternoon, before he works. Kaitlyn is so quiet, I have a hard time knowing if she is even home and Sarah typically has Uni early mornings, making her have to go to sleep early, and any excessive noise made by any of us later at night unacceptable. Sarah has been off school since the begining of December and in that time we've started playing pokemon cards when I get home from work for a bit, something just as quiet as any card game.
Needless to say we find the accusation unfounded, and a little rude, given that we have no way of contacting whomever left the note to explain and apologize for the possibly increased noise over the past few days, again, something that is in no way a common occurance. I don't believe the note is from the smaller blue house to the right as we've had civil conversations with the people living there and they have not once brought up a sound issue. We have noticed since the house two doors down was sold two months ago, to the left if facing ours, there has been music with heavy bass played later in the nights, sometimes until 3am and they did have a party on Christmas night as well. I fear that their noise may be getting attrubited to us.
Regardless, we will do what we can to try to curb any further excess noise on our parts, how we can do that though I'm not certain. Again, sorry to have to disturb you with this and I hope your holidays have gone well.
She rarely bothered washing her dishes, even if that meant there were no clean glasses and plates in the cupboard.
