- All the baking fun on Wednesday, my kitchen looked like a war zone, even Melisa commented.
- Packing and travelling to Carin's, it was somewhat of a challenge, and five of us, plus Rascal in the truck was a bit cramped, but only for 3-1/2 hours.
- Dylan meeting Melisa and John, he was a bit shy, pretending to be a ghost; but after a few minutes he really warmed up to Melisa.
- The anticipation of Santa's arrival, a special moment was Dylan's personal call from Santa. Carin had the phone on speaker, it was a good thing as Dylan was so quiet and shy we had to make some noise in the background so Santa would know Dylan was still on the phone.
Christmas morning, oh the packages, and Dylan's eyes about to POP! The opening of gifts went rather quickly, but that's okay for this year as we feel certain Dylan has never experienced anything like this, he was such fun to watch!
There are so many more memories, probably too much to write in this space so I'll conclude with the thought it was wonderful for our family to be together once again. We were supposed to have Christmas together in 2004, but the airlines reservation computer crash that year prevented Melisa and John from travelling at the very last moment. So, it was a blessing to have our beautiful daughters, their husbands, and now Dylan together in the celebration of fun, and the celebration of the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ. A very special Christmas indeed! Until next time ....
