What a nice Christmas Day. All the kids are here so I am
extremely happy. Well, all but one are here.
Our youngest daughter, Kelsie, and
her husband, Patrick, flew into Philly on the twentieth then drove up to Maine
with his family for Christmas. But they’re coming back at the end of the month
so we’ll see them again and have our News Year’s Eve Seafood Feast before they
go back to college.
I took some pictures of our Christmas trees, but not many. I
kept forgetting to get my camera out. That is so not me.
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for a wonderful day.

We all went to my brother’s house to celebrate the holidays
with the cousins. My mom and her husband flew up from Florida. Six of us
siblings were there. My one brother just had twin girls. They are so darling. I
brought my camera and remembered to take lots of pictures.
It’s heartwarming to see the older cousins, all in, or just
out of, college, interact with the younger cousins. My kids all love getting
together with my family. I don’t know how much longer we’re going to be able to
do it. Two are in college and my oldest two just graduated and have jobs out
west, so it’s hard for them to get time off to come back east.
I will savor this holiday season. I don’t know how many more
will be like this. My children are getting older and who knows where they’ll
all be next year. Matt will be on his mission.
Empty nesting is for the birds.
