DG:  Was awakened at 5:30am by a four year old full of Christmas excitement.  Maddie was up and ready to see what Santa had brought. So, soon all were awakened, or stirred may be more accurate a description of the state of the adults. Alex was somewhat ambivalent but very interested in all the activity that suddenly swirled around him. And so it began.  

 
  
And so it began. There were many toys for all the kids. Some really cool gifts for the adults. Laughter and tears of joy filled the room. And our hearts overflowed with love and appreciation for the joy that was before us.  A very Merry Christmas.  

  
  
Our sincerest hope is that all are blessed as we are blessed. God bless everyone.
