Christmas Time

We had a great Christmas and can't believe we have already entered into the year 2009! It was an especially emotional and meaningful Christmas season as we said good bye to both Grandpa and Grandma West within three weeks of each other. Their love story reminded me a lot of my own Grandparents, Grandma and Grandpa Van Wagenen who died exactly 2 months apart and were reunited for Christmas just like Grandma and Grandpa West. My heart is very tender and full as I think about the examples of love, faith, and devotion I have had in my life! I love you Grandma and Grandpa West!

It was so good to see you. Hopefully next time we can chat a bit more, rather than just complain together about the song to sing. Your family is so cute and I'm so glad that you are happy, happy, happy. You deserve it all.

Hey! I just looked at this picture (although I'd already seen it) and realized that Talia has the exact same Christmas dress. I never did get a picture of her in it though.
