This post is just to say thank you, thank you, thank you to all of the people who have made our Christmas season so overwhelmingly joyful. It was fabulous to have all of our immediate family and my mom and dad here for the week before Christmas. The grandchildren are like bright stars in a beautiful dark night sky. I've never spent so much time just sitting, watching, and being incredibly happy. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!

We misplaced our camera in the excitement of the season, so I will refer you to the blogs and face books of each of our children for pictures and detailed updates of our time together.
