A Birthday to Remember

There's been lots of birthdays in December - 5 of the 8 members of my immediate family were in December and each has special meaning.  But today, is very special!  This would have been my dad's 95th birthday - that just doesn't seem possible at all!  He's been gone now since 2006 and this is 2012 - wow!  Not a day goes by without me thinking of him at some point - I still miss him!

Everyone in my family is home and I love it!  We went down to Walla Walla just yesterday for the day - a loooong day as we traveled both ways in one day, but an absolutely wonderful day:)  We not only had our Christmas dinner and such, but we watched some old DVD's from when the kids were little - seemed like yesterday for sure!!!  Mom and Dad were both in them and giving their little comments and smiles and laughs - it was a highlight of the day!!!  There was so much "chat and talk" that we couldn't tell if it was the DVD or in real person - I shed several tears but tried my best to just enjoy the time - so special!!!!

Today then was a lazy day at home - so enjoy my girls, Logan & Danny.  Our home is now set up so convenient for all - I LOVE having them here!!!  We brought out the home movies on DVD from our family - more tearful times.  I wondering the older I get if I'm just going to be crying more and more?  That's how I'm feeling about life - everything brings tears!

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and we'll all be going to church - love that part of the holiday!  Christmas morning will come and along with cinnamon rolls will be the presents and more "together" time - am loving it!  They are here so seldom anymore that I just want to soak it all up!!  Time slips so quickly and then they'll be gone:( and I'll miss them terribly!  Love them all!

Must go - I know, I know, my blogspot isn't very consistent is it?  Hmmmm, will I ever be better? I don't know - time will tell.  Loves to all who read and know that I love each of you very much:)!!!  blessings!
