More IS Merrier

It is true that "the more, the merrier," and yesterday was most awesomely merry.  For me, it was birthday, Christmas, Easter, Fourth of July, reunion, and any other holiday you can think of rolled into one.  I snapped only this photo and was so disappointed that I didn't get my always-smiling Craig in the frame (his hands at far right).  From the left:  Deb, Clay (the Good Son), Larry, Dave, Jester (FSMC, another of "my boys"), Pete, Jake, and the illusive Craig.  Taylor was taking a nap.

My Kids showered me with extravagant goodies of all kinds and brought a wonderful lunch.  So the fire department didn't have to be called, Deb kindly put only one candle on my birthday cake, a cheesecake!  They spoil me rotten.  I couldn't even complain when I lost my allowance on cards.  I would say we take poker very seriously except there was so much laughing going on that I wouldn't be believed.  However, when it comes to poker it's "no quarter asked nor given," and Mom status gets no breaks.

It was a day far beyond good, it was glorious!  (Gonna take down the Christmas tree at last.)
