An Ongoing Celebration

We had a very fun ChristmasWe knew that our get-togethers would extend over several days, but never anticipated the ease with which they would flow. As it should be, with family.

B/K/A/G's Christmas Day gifted us total relaxation, reminding us of our own holidays, when the boys were little. Aubrey and Gavin never got out of their pj's, and we all just chilled. "Wii" got a good workout, and Aubrey was proclaimed the champion of "Connect Four". I still can't beat her! 



Our day-after here turned into a sleep-
over for Christian and the children. Sometimes, "frightful" can be "delightful", as was the snowstorm that caused our Baby Grands to be stranded on Stacey Drive. Hunter came in so excited, jumping up and down, exclaiming, "G'ma, G'ma, we're having a storm and we're sleeping over." I melted. Unfortunately, next-day work obligations kept Dawn from sharing time with us.

When all together, the four children are incredible pals. They just pick up wherever it was that they left off, to again fill the house with laughter and cheer. I love them so much. Each has a personality so unique from the next - combined they are an unsurpassable team. "Toy Story 3" offered a breather from the commotion and respite for the pooches. Then, second winds kicked in for another blast of energetic fun. 
Lovin' Santa.
