Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas


Its that time again. Merry Christmas to all! Mark your calendar for Friday, December 29 at noon, Uncle Tom's house. We will party all day long. Let's catch up with the new details in our lives. This family has three new details, Zachary, Tessa and Becca. Do we win the growth prize?

Here's the details: food, beverage, dessert provided. Bring a pollyanna gift. Make the gender of the gift match the giver and it should work out. On the tag, mark: Girl, Boy or Uni. No gift cards, that's too easy, just make sure it is something that you would like. $10 limit. Please RSVP to let314@comcast or home at (609)927-0248 and then I will call with kid name exchange. If any of your children wish to participate in the adult abuse instead of the kid's personal exhange, let me know when you call. I need to make plans for the food so the count is important. Here are some memories from last year. See you all soon, we hope.

25 Years--Oh My!



And they said it wouldn't last! Where did all that time go? Here is a pic we just came across. Yes that is the Browers wishing us well. And could that cute blonde on the right side be our future daughter-in-law? Who'da guessed? Our real celebration was this summer when we went to the Virgin Isles. But we have had an extra special weekend. Brian and Becca spent Friday with us and we all went to dinner. (Surprizing how different you spend your 25th anniversay versus your 1st, Huh?). Saturday Chip's family sent flowers and a strange CD came from Tom's gang. We were reading the mail as we drove. It said to listen and then call. When we got home, the CD player kept playing the Christmas music from the other CD's. So finally I took all the others out. And it still played "I'll be home for Christmas." Well we listened to the end, expecting to hear the kids wish us "Happy Anniversary" but the song just ended. So I played it again. After several minutes, Dad said maybe that IS the message. But he said the rest of the line is, "IF only in my dreams!" We were afraid to get too excited and just call. Quickly Stephanie enforced our dreams, and said "Yes they were coming home for Christmas!" What a beautiful holiday this will be. Everyone home except, Brian's Becca. She is going to Italy with her family. Poor girl, she has to go to Italy and miss the other 21 Thompson's holiday. This girl has no idea what she has said "yes" to. So we have decided to give it another 25 years and see if this marriage is really as good as we think, considering the first 25 went so fast.
