MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We are winding down from a wonderful Christmas! We have taken the Jennings to the airport for their return to Erie. The Conville's are packing up all of the toys and all of their other stuff and getting ready to leave early tomorrow. Sylvia is leaving early also, so we will only have Gabe here. It has been a whirlwind of fun, but the whirlwind has flown by at warp speed.

We have had LOTS of visiting from the James crew and babies, the Willises from next door and new grandbaby, Nancy & Michael, and Nannie & Pappaw. Church services-eating-cooking-eating-opening gifts-eating-playing with new toys-eating. I guess you get the drift. It has been a wonderful long weekend that went by entirely too fast.

The favorite toy of the weekend is the new WII. I am not brave enough to even try it, but all of the little and big kids love it! They have multiple games to go with it,and the technology is unbelievable! You cannot teach old dogs new tricks!

You don't know what you are missing until you get a little taste of it. Thus it was with the Jennings-it was SO hard to take them back to the airport. It is a long way to Erie and even though you can talk everyday and see them 3 or 4 times a year-IT IS HARD! Our sweet little Camille is such a delight and Adam is her perfect compliment. We are grateful for that blessing! The only thing that made her leaving bearable was Adam going with her. We know they are so happy and that he is taking good care of her.

One of the most fun things of the weekend was singing Christmas songs with the boys. Camille is the ideal "Camp Director". She had us all singing the favorite fun songs including the "12 Days of Christmas". We all took parts and had a great time hamming it up. What fun!

Another Christmas has come and gone and it was quite a good one. As Poppa Bob and Caleb were discussing tonight, Christmas will come again in just one short year. WHOA! I am not thinking about that tonight!

We run 8 tomorrow after running 6 on Christmas Eve. The marathon time is closing in and I am delighted! It is time to be thinking of something besides the next run.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!
