Probably the best Christmas so far, but so many more to experience and with so many more people.
CHRISTMAS MORNING!!!
My brother Jason, and his son Stewart who just recently turned one
My dad made this bench for my mom and even put the cover on the seat to match the other chairs around the table in the kitchen (Impressive).. She loved it.
So much fun watching the little ones just rip open all there presents! They were so excited! :)
Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself...
~Norman Wesley Brooks, "Let Every Day Be Christmas," 1976
