It has been tradition for as long as I can remember to make a gift one person in the family. We picks names out of a hat on Thanksgiving day and have a month to make the gift. The tradition has extended to all the siblings partners as well. This can be a little stressful, but I so look forward to seeing what everyone has made each year. My brother Billy wrote a beautiful, heartfelt poem to my father about who is hero is....my father. There was not a dry eye in the house. My dad made me a multimedia present. He had a piece of slate from my grandmother house in Ireland and painted a scene of Highland lake with the boat in it. In the boat was a photo of suzanne and I. Very creative Dad, I love it. My mom had suzanne a ceramic paddle board with a dragon fly on it. Suzanne had bought a paddle board this summer for the lake house. Very inspired mom. As you can see from the Christmas photos we all had a great time being together. Billy and Cathy thanks for hosting this year.
