So I'm still getting the hang of this blogging thing. I hope one day I can have a really terrific blog that everybody reads. Oh well.
Christmas is almost here. Brandon is like a little kid, so excited. Every year he starts right after Halloween and by December 15 he's tearing through the house laughing, skipping, and singing. (eEeEeEeE)At least I know that I still have a kid to get super excited, overwhelmed, and hyper. The other day he brought me a wrapped present and wanted to open it. This is a change from past years, when he just opened them without asking. It took some bribing, but I finally got him to watch a new Barney Christmas movie instead.

| Brenda and Joe Christmas 2003 |
This year is especially difficult, my oldest sister Brenda died November 9. I don't remember ever spending a Christmas without her. She loved Brandon so much. Brandon is named after her and her husband, Joe, (Brandon Joseph).
I get melancholy at Christmastime, missing my parents, my brother and my sister. But new ones are here, our family is blessed with Gabriel, (who turns 1 today) and my two adorable great- nieces, Jessica and Georgia. I have a lot to be thankful for.
Merry Christmas
