Just Thinking!!

I have been at home all day today getting ready for a progressive dinner tomorrow night that is going to end up at our house for dessert. I have just been thinking about Christmas time over the years. When David and I first married, every Holiday was filled with so many gatherings because we still had Grandparents and some Great Grandparents. It was a little frustrating at times trying to keep everyone happy . Now that our Grandparents are no longer here and our Sons are grown but don't have their own families yet, I find myself missing those times of all the family hubbub!. The memories are precious ones to me when I think of getting together at Grandma Harbours at Christmas and all of the kids having fun playing together. I think of all the big Easter Egg Hunts at Grandma Fulmers. The first time I went to the Easter Gathering at Grandma Fulmers, the uncles hid about 300 eggs. The last time I believe there was about 1000. Such Wonderful memories!. I think about Gradma and Grandpa Copelands Christmas and how Grandma Vi always got the guys sweat shirts or jeans. We are still wearing some of those sweat shirts. My memories of my Ma and Pa Morgans is how we always went on Christmas for lunch. Ma and Pa loved their grandkids and I have noticed some things in my Lance that really remind me of Pa. Funny how that happens! I feel so blessed to have grown up in the family that I have. I am also blessed to have married into the family that I have. They have all given me so much to be thankful for as far as families go. To my friends that find themselves stretched out during the Holiday Season just remember that time goes by so fast. Cherish every moment that you have with your family! They won't always be here! and your Children will grow up SO fast!
