We had a delightful time in Vermont with Gordon and Carrie and Geoffrey and Ron and Gabriel. We arrived on Christmas eve and had a nice dinner then went off to a Christmas eve service at their church. We sang lots of Christmas Carols and heard Christmas reading. When we returned home we got the little guy to bed and then as all parents and grandparents do, we wrapped Christmas presents. I remember the first time I was allowed to stay up and wrap gifts for Hank. I felt so grown up. We were living on Holyoke street at the time, so I must have been in 7th or 8th grade. We even played with some of the toys. One of the toys was a target that one held on their left hand and a dart type ball with a suction cup on it. It was lots of fun. Enough for the past, on to this year.
Christmas Morning and the tree that Gordon hiked out into the woods to get. He chopped it down and brought it home. Geoffrey has had a good time rearranging the ornaments. We had to wait for Geoffrey to wake up I think you need at least two children for them to get up early on Christmas morning. We heard some noises from downstairs and figured that he was coming up. And boy did he come up wearing only one sock. Gordon was close behind carrying a diaper and some clothing. I didn't take a picture. He did get excited when he saw all the wrapped presents under the tree. He was eager to give us the things for us. We got a lovely collage of pictures of all the children and grandchildren that Carrie put together. Thank you everyone for sending pictures.
