CHRISTMAS MEMORIES 2008




We had a great time at Cookie Day. The oldest taught the youngest all about the intricacies of sugar cookies....how to roll them, cut them and ice them. Everyone knew how to eat them!!! In all, about eight dozen cookies were cut and baked, and most of them were decorated and sent home with everyone!

Meet Tom. He turned 64 this week and in two more days, will have been my other half for 42 years. I can't believe how quickly we have spent our time. I am old-fashioned. I still believe in true....smack your face and fall down stupid...love. I met Tom at 16 and just knew he was "the one." For me, Tom's humor and zest for living (especially Ball State Football) keep me going. He sees humor in absolutely everything and that is important in this world....and sometimes even more so in our life. Thanks, hon, for just being you.




Gabi, age 6 and in Kindergarten, is absolutely thrilled to be learning to read. Here, she is
reading to Uncle Chris.



We are now down to the final few days before Christmas. It's the best week of the year for many of us. Family, memories, and one moment at some time on Christmas Eve when the world seems peaceful.
Merry Christmas, everyone. Sleep in heavenly peace.....
