A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS

I spent Christmas with my wonderful adopted family.  I have felt a part of the family of my dear and best friend, Sue, for a long time.  She and I have been closer than sisters and I could not have got through so many things, like the passing of my husband last year, if it had not been for her loving support.  And her family has been so accepting, caring and loving to me.  I treasure them.  Being able to share in their lives is such a blessing.  Thank you for making me your Nana Rose!

It was a Merry Christmas.

  2. Thanks for sharing this family Christmas. We gave our grandson a helicopter too and his dad said he was going to play with it after Will went to bed. :-) Alice

  5. Nice to see kids excited about Christmas, mine have passed that stage. But on the other hand they now sleep late into Christmas morning, which in way is a small present for me.
