This Christmas the best gifts any of us gave or received were time together and the sacrifice of giving! We enjoyed a fun-filled visit with Grandaddy; a special visit from Mimi; a trip to DC with MommaC, Papa Joe, Aunt Babsie, Uncle Leland, Jared, Jake and Zac; and a celebration of Jesus' birthday with Aunt Sue, Uncle Ed, Uncle Matt, and the Sanzones!
We were all blessed by having a family Christmas gift swap where all three children combined their saved allowances to buy Rich and I and each other presents. They also all made presents for us. They very carefully chose the gifts they thought the other would enjoy most. The gift of giving brought us all great joy!
One added blessing was the trips to the Marine Corps Museum and the Vietnam Wall with my Dad. We all learned a great deal about the sacrifices of war, the comraderie of those who share in combat, and how the war impacted him.
