Twas the night before Christmas in the Simon house; not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, with the hope that the dogs would not eat what was in there.
We fought with the children and finally got them in bed; then we collapsed on the couch while memories danced in our heads.
Brady’s in Fifth grade and he acts so old. He ran cross country and got a medal of gold.
Although he works hard in school and gives it his best; he’d rather be playing his Nintendo DS.
Christian’s in Second Grade and he’s behaving well. We ask him if he likes it, but he’ll never tell. He wants to eat spaghetti all of the time; if we fix something else, he says it’s a crime!
Leah’s in Kindergarten and she’s doing great; she gets upset if she’s even late! She loves to read and especially write; we tell her daily that she is so bright.
DeAnn is a counselor, she helps people galore; but on Monday mornings, it feels like a chore! She spends a great deal of time at Berry Elementary School; she thinks being with the children is just super cool!
Scot likes his job, although he’s always busy; he runs around so much, he often gets dizzy. He plays with the children and is such a fun dad; but when he wins, the children get mad!
Spirit and Piper are part of our family too. Piper barks at anyone new. Spirit is old, but he’s still fun; his favorite thing to do is lay in the sun.
What a year it’s been here in this place we call home; we’re humbled and blessed to not live it alone. We have people who love us and who truly care; without them it would be too much to bear!
From our home to yours, may the season bring you a smile,And time with loved ones you haven’t seen in awhile;We wish you health and happiness, may your 2009 be bright,Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
Scot, DeAnn & family
