  • Christmas 2007 has come and gone

    I love the holidays....  especially Christmas.  It is not the presents, it is the feeling.  Houses are decorated, there are carols being sung, twinkle of lights and kids waiting for Santa.  Even though our kids are grown..  16 to 27, Santa still seems to have them on the "nice" list.  We had great food and most of our kids here.  Next year it would be incredible if we could have all of them to include the grand kids, lets keep our fingers crossed.

    It started with a family picture.
