The children of my two siblings are all ready for bed after a busy Christmas Day. Christmases were lots of fun when the children were little as the children were all close in age. David and Adam are three days a part. Matthew is a couple of years younger. Heather, Jeffrey and Andrew were all born in the same year.
The photo was taken at my brother's home at Sauble Beach. We would come for the day and then head back to Owen Sound sometimes in very snowy conditions.
Now the children are all grown up. Even the youngest grandchild is now a teenager. Christmases are not quite the same when you don't have children in the house.

I know what you mean about the house being different without children at Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI have loved spending this month at my daughter's, watching my 2year old granddaughter.

Frances - It is great that you are getting to spend time with your granddaughter
ReplyDeleteEvelyn - I hope you can participate when we do this again. If you see a topic now that interests you, go ahead and write about it. You do not have to do something for each day.
