Christmas Chaos + Family Fun = New Year Reflections


We have had so much fun this holiday season. We were blessed to see so many members of our families, from all the various sides. We also missed some regulars which reminded us how important they are (Dawn, please don't ever vacation until Dec. 26th anymore)! We were able to enjoy cuddling Dexter and sharing the enjoyment of the current crop of kids playing with the dollhouse that Colleen took out this year which all of the grandkids (now adults) played with during their childhood Christmases.

We also found out that by next Christmas there will be at least 2 more babies...Congrats Erin and Tom & Angie and Chris.
I also was able to spend the holidays with many long time friends (no way I am going to call us "old"). New Years was spent at Hummingbird Hill; it was as warm as springtime. I was able to walk around and think about the past year, and what a year it was. Pete & I married and officially combined our families. We had a great green party surrounded by so many that we love. We went to Lithuania and found many more family members we had not known about...(I promise to get back to the trip soon).

I also thought about those we love and are no longer present; but are certainly still with us.
I also prayed that everyone still present, will be with us next year. My final wish of 2006: A HAPPY, HEALTHY & PROSPEROUS 2007 TO YOU ALL

You're so sweet. That was lovely! You did forget to mention that certain grown-up grandchildren had lots of fun playing with the dollhouse this year, too.
(But I'm a famous dork.)
