First Christmas without Dad so have to admit it was tough at times. Happy Kevin's family was here.
We did the usual breakfast. Nic took over making the pancakes that Poppy used to make. Everyone chipped in where they could to assist Mom. It was delicious as usual.
Fun to have Grace around for her first Christmas. I think we all could have saved a lot of money and just given her shiny wrapping paper as that seemed to interest her the most. I did make sure she got a Walter's bib however.
As usual, Keara made her gifts and we all loved them. She make a pillow out of Dad's shirts for Mom and she made everyone else an ornament from his shirts as well. She also presented each family with sunset photo she took on Poppy's birthday from the cemetery. The image is made up of small pictures of Poppy. It is beautiful. She also cross-stitched a stocking for Grace.
Mom outdid herself as usual. Always so giving. We were all just grateful to be together. Christmas will never be the same without Dad but he will always be with us in our hearts.
