Time with family means lots of talking usually revolving around food at any time of the day. I grew up in a family that liked to play games. And now my own kids continue that tradition of enjoying games with all the generations. David flew in from Chicago with Becky who so wonderfully shared herself with us, with Thomas being stationed in Iraq (IM'ing was a valued important connection to him in Mosul.) Brian, Liz, Landen (2yrs) and Lauren(2 mos) drove down from Brooklyn. Wonderful to wake up to the kids and their kids and their expectant kids, and to say goodnight to all of them too, with Landen sleeping on a futon in my bedroom. Warms the ears to hear "Nana" in the early morning. My brother Terrell, sister in law Linda and their 2 girls Jennifer and Rebecca and her son Andrew also gathered here for Christmas festivities. Obviously I felt extremely blessed.
