Christmas!

Dennis and I sat with our son Joe waiting for his three kids to wake up. The house was dark except for the light of the Christmas tree. It brought back many memorys of our six kids and the fun of this special day. Pierce was the first to come down then Kyle Joe and lastly Meranda Rose. What excitement! They ran to get their Mom and started looking for their names on the gifts. The older two looked for Mirandas gifts. Ann, Rich, Becca, Sarah and Terse Rose were coming shortly. Dennis, Jen and Matt will be a close 2nd and Jim, Kelly, Celeste and Dylan make the whole family all togethar. Mike and Tom still live here and their friends joined us later. Brandon, Scott, and Tom B. are just part of our family too. The laughter and good spirits filled the house again. It is not the gifts but the people that really give us joy. Dennis and I sat back and watched, enjoying the warmth and happiness they all give us. We are truely rich! Merry Christmas and God Bless, Barb
