Christmas morning

Christmas morning we go to my mom and dad's for the annual yummy Christmas breakfast. Always delicious, ham, bacon, eggs, biscuits, gravy, hashbrowns and fruit. Cracker Barrel doesn't have anything on mom. It was very different this year without Jeremy being there. For years it has been Buddy's tradition to throw Jeremy a biscuit across the table to him. I'll never forget the first year Buddy did that. I would have given a million bucks for the look on Cande's face. I know it was a hard Christmas for Barry and Cande with him not being here this time of year. They did get a phone call from him Christmas morning. But I don't think that helped much, because he was having a rough time the first few weeks. They have since received a letter from him and he is getting use to things. It is still going to be tough on him, but he is a strong young man and will persevere. We miss you Jeremy. After breakfast, presents are opened. Once again I'm so thankful to still have my family all living close by.
