What a beautiful post. And I loved the old photos, especially with Bing…you were so sweet! I hope you and your little sister mend your rough patch. Maybe that is something wonderful 2010 holds for you.

Here is just one more.

dad Christmas

This must have been taken on Christmas Eve. Dad is pointing out our Christmas Dolls under the tree to our “then dog”. I’m sure he is saying something like… “look but don’t touch”. Any way.. these photos now have me smile.

Looking back at Christmas photos can be a happy-sad experience when some of the faces are no longer here.

Merry Christmas to you all. I know you will have a ownderful day with your grandbabies. I was with Ella this past weekend. We went to Virginia for a nephew’s wedding. She was the flower girl…adorable, of course.
