December 19 & 20, 2009 Betsy, Jack & Reese hosted our family Christmas gathering amidst a record snowfall in both PA and NJ. What a drive -- and April & Aaron did it twice in the same day. We received a lovely surprise gift from John & Kathy Jeidy from whom we purchased Say Good-Bye, a beautiful oil painting done by an 86-year old artist.  It's beautiful and we so appreciate their thoughtful gift.  This day was a time for making gingerbread houses and building snowmen and just relaxing. Santa arrived just as predicted. He enjoyed the cookies and milk and Rudolph loved the carrots and apple the cherubs set out. We so enjoyed being together again and a great time was had by all.

 MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
