Mom has pretty much finished her making up gifts and Christmas cards. I think she had 1/3rd more to go. We had a wonderful office party tonight. Lots of celebration and good conversation. Mom attended with me. Surprised the staff with the Santa outfit. Went over well. Walked next door to our other general dentist's clinic and gave the a walk through and a ho ho ho. We've enjoyed having grand children over for visits and stays. We're really looking forward to the Christmas and birthday celebrations in the next week. It is a great time of year in this area. Cloudy skies but hoping for a white Christmas. Fun watching families grow and create they're own traditions. We are so thankful for 7 wonderful children and 18 great grand children. Two more on the way. How could we be more blessed. Have a great Christmas this year. And, a greater New Year. Love you all. Dad and Mom
