Hi to one and all
We had a very wonderful Christmas Eve lunch with all that could come. It was short because of places others needed to be but, Hey, we will take what time we can get. It is wonderful to see Boston, Caden and Stormy get to play together even for a short time. Brought back old memories when the "cousins" use to be here at Christmas time and play together. We are just all starting over again, right, new group. We are all blessed and thankful for the group we are. I know we have all been influenced by our older generation and loved ones that are no longer with us and they will always be in our hearts but we sure do miss them one and all at holiday time. Aren't memories wonderful? Your idea of a get-together sounds like a good idea. Don't know if we can ever pull it off, like you said, it will take a lot of effort from everyone, but who knows.
We certainly enjoyed having Blair and Jay stay with us and Blair got to see First Baptist members at the Candlelight and Carol service to hear Kittie sing O Holy Night. She did a beautiful job and I was so proud of her. I'm sure her Daddy heard her in heaven. I am just so proud of all my children. They all play their own unique roles in life and in our family. Just like God's family, it takes us all to come together to make ONE, our family unit. Each has their own gifts and talents but above all we have our family love and respect for each other. There will always be someone that needs a little extra help, encouragement and understanding from time to time, none of us walk in each other's shoes . Blair and Jay may come back by this morning on their way home. Blair made lots of pictures for Ft Worth bunch to see. Jared and Betsy we sure did miss seeing you and hope you had a great Christmas. You are a very sweet couple. Hope Blair gets back with your "goodie" bag. Mike and Eletia, it was good to talk to you on Christmas morning and like I told you, thanks so much for sharing your children with us. Wish I could give you one and all a million dollars but I do send you all my love and wish you a wonderful NEW YEAR of good health, wealth and much love. Maw
