I remember only being able to open the joint presents. Like a game and one thing for ourselves, but having to wait for some of them until Grandma got there to see us open some. But you're right, total chaos. Then you forgot the part about milking cows, then piling all of us in the car and driving 3 hours to Grandma Frew's house in Crete for the big family Christmas dinner, then back and milking cows again that night. We'd fall sleep on top of each other in the back of the station wagon. No seat belts to be seen anywhere in those days. Nila Mary, Well, This isn’t exactly how I remember it.

Would it be possible to sneak an extra person in there, a not-related person, and would anybody know? :) That's kind of how it was at my parents house this Christmas too. It was the blizzard weekend---my brother Dennis had to meet each of us at the highway with a tractor just to get us in. Crazy people. Later, Karen Hey Mary,

Sounds like my dad's family. He was the youngest of ten kids, and I had a billion cousins. I miss the old days of eating at my aunt's house with all kinds of great food and so many people you could hardly move. I'm looking forward to your next book. Sounds great! Mary,

Knowing your some of your family, I teared up when I read about your dedication of Gingham Mountain. I'm so proud of you just being your neighbor. I can't imagine how proud your family must be! I'm SO enjoying your websites and blogs! I'm sorry to have just now stumbled onto them. I hope your trip to Texas was good. Sorry I couldn't make it to this book signing. I'll let my friend and sister-in-law know about your next ones in Texas. Mary, great picture! Knowing your some of your family, I teared up when I read about your dedication of Gingham Mountain.
