MERRY almost over CHRISTMAS 2008

It's been a great December month and Christmas Day today. Thank you to everyone for helping to make it so for grandpa and me. Neighbors and friends have been super; the family party (Kevin and Ann's) was a special evening; Rachel and Maddy staying all night Monday night and filling the house and yard (snow angels) with laughter and fun; Chinese dinner (Dale and Jan's) last night and Christmas dinner today (Dann and BJ's); plus the wonderful gifts; the phone calls (the Nielsens and Natasha's exciting news from Maryland, Kris, Dale, Dann, then Laurie and Russ from Texas this evening), and watching Lauren's (Julie, Drew, Harley's too) DVD added to the day. It sounds as though everyone had a Merry Christmas Day. We are blessed beyond measure. Love you.
