A Schumacher Sunday

"The merry family gatherings-- The old, the very young; The strangely lovely way they harmonize in carols sung. For Christmas is tradition time-- Traditions that recall. The precious memories down the years, the sameness of them all."

We concluded our Kentucky Christmas' with our celebration with Daddy, Frances, Kelsey and Alex at Jennifer and Tim's house. We all met over there for a brunch because Daddy, Frances and gang were going to be heading back to Mississippi later in the afternoon to be able to attend a New Years Eve party the following day. We had a wonderful day of, yes, once again EATING....and just being able to visit and catch up with everyone even more. We always love to watch the kids open their gifts and seeing Kelsey get all of her High School Musical gifts was so much fun. She is so enamoured with Troy Bolton and still waiting for him to wisk through the door to take her away at any given moment. She is a hoot over him. Jennifer and Tim gave her a HSM hat and pair of gloves and I think that she kept them on IN THE HOUSE for at least an hour or more. I was sweating just watching her run around in them.

It was a wonderful day and a wonderful conclusion to our Christmas holiday celebrations with our families. We loved each and every moment of the time that we spent with everyone. We were blessed beyond measure and we are so thankful that it worked out that we were able to come up to be able to spend the time with everyone as we did. We love you all and wish you each a wonderful and prosperous New Year-

Love to you all and til next time-
