Only two weeks until Christmas

All is quiet as we prepare for the Big day, and the celebration of the birth of Christ. If it was not for His death we would not be celebrating His birth.

This year, to our great pleasure, we will have all our children and grandchildren with us for this great event. Some will travel far others will only walk down the hall. It doesn’t matter the distance only that they are here and are adding to the excitement of the day. Again we will be taking our family picture and each year it keeps growing larger.

The last time we were altogether Jim was in Iraq and Rachael and Johnnie were still not on this earth. However, this year we will not have Lexus with us for the festivities of the day, she has moved on to her eternal reward.

We do expect to have Anne and Al with us as well as Guy and maybe the Mrs. Nicole may go to visit Cedric and his family for the holiday, but Guy can not go since he must be back at work the following day.

As we look ahead we are hoping that this will be one of those memorable times that we will all look back upon and say “those were the days” The picture above is of times that I am are glad that they are behind me.
