It wasn't our typical Christmas...
but it was wonderful...
and sad at the same time.
Wonderful because those of us who were here loved being together..
sad because of those who weren't with us.
Sullivan was patiently waiting for his presents to open.
There were a couple of stockings missing from the 'grandkids' section...
this was part of the 'sad'...
William was SO patient!
He kept asking...when are we going to open presents...
One time when I walked in the living room, he had his gifts set aside!
Stockings come first!
Thalia was here from Florida!
Lindsey and family were here from California.
I was handed this package.
Um?? From William, Sullivan, and Papa...to me?
Well, there were several like this.
Finally, Ron told me the story. William had wrapped all the gifts Ron had bought me. William also wrote on the packages so, of course, it was from him...and how sweet that he included Sullivan!
I loved this!
Brody had wanted to come over to play. I told him William probably wouldn't want to play since he was working on Legos. He came anyway. William WAS working on Legos, but he would take a piece, show Brody that piece in the book, and explain to him how to put it together.
One thing in William's stocking was a magazine...I think it was Scooby Doo. In there were directions on making this owl out of fruit. So that was a project he and Donnie did together.
Donnie was proud of his middle son! The owl definitely had an engineers influence.
It was a sweet New Year's Day Christmas!
