| We arrived home on Christmas Eve afternoon. We had celebrated the holiday with Nonnie in Houston a few days earlier, then took a load of furniture to the lake house. We were all tired on arrival but looking forward to a low-stress Christmas. Ma-Mas, Pa-Pa, Uncle Clint, Dana, Libby, and Bill all came over for our tradition of chili and tamales and a couple of gifts. We enjoyed the evening but it was an early night for everyone. |

| Ralph was pleased with his Christmas gift. |

| After a quiet morning at home, we went to Ma-Mas and Pa-Pa's house for more holiday fun. |

We had a sweet and simple Christmas that was filled with family, fun, laughs, and peace. We couldn't have asked for more.
