MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Today we share thoughts –

laughs – kindness – gifts –

and cheer with family and friends!

The past memories come flooding back –

watching grandkids sitting on the stairs –

eyes wide and giggling.

Waiting for parents to get up out of bed –

And eyeing the stockings-

hanging from the stairwell.

Oh – how I cherish those memories of times gone past.

The innocence of youth.

The tree is all lit up –

presents are stacked neatly underneath it!

They giggle –

excitement in the air –

then the bedroom door opens-

and silence as they wait for their parents-

CHRISTMAS DAY HAS ARRIVED –

let the enjoyment begin!

Outside it is a “WHITE CHRISTMAS DAY”!

The wind is blowing –

and the trees shake their branches.

Inside the fireplace is on –

the stockings are on the floor-

between their legs.

The voices ring with excitement –

AFTER ALL – IT IS CHRISTMAS DAY!

To all of you – MERRY CHRISTMAS –

and hope for a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

PAPA’S WORLD – MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Sunrise in Leesburg, Va. on the morning of Bode’s birthday – turning nine years old!

As he sleeps – balloons greet him when he wakes up!

The living room – birthday greetings – fireplace – it was 30 plus degrees outside – but a beautiful sunrise.

Frost on the ground but a warm fire in the fireplace – and he got what he had been asking for since the beginning of last summer!

MESSI – his soccer hero – shirt and pants – just what a young soccer player wanted!

Bode turns nine and in his MESSI uniform – his dream comes true
