Summer's Day: Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Twas a Christmas 'sans Daddy' but all turned out well.
Spending it with the Bunton's gave us some stories to tell.

Considered both family and friends they're so great,
We had presents, fun and the turkey got ate!

Lisa, Stephen, Graeme, Sara and Francesca came,
Two flew from Van, two from Toronto and Spain! (or was it Norway... well, Norway doesn't rhyme...)

Summer and I rounded out the crowd,
And an early Christmas morning was totally allowed. (Sorry L & S!)

Hours of presents, more food and fun.
I even took in a Christmas Day run.

Boxing Day brought the whole Standen Clan,
A fun lunch visit and then they all ran.

We all missed Sum's Daddy, but we knew he was OK.
Even though we couldn't spend with him the day.

Merry Christmas!

Adorable red Christmas dress!
I am looking forward to hear about your trip "Downunder". Have you seen any platypuses?

Summer was helping Emily dress Zazz, I popped my head in the door and Summer says: "Mom, don't come in, it extracts us!"
"Mom, I am going to build a new hospital and work there too. I am going to wear the same black uniform and my boss's name is Louise."
Hi Momma! I miss ya! See Ya!
