“That’s so sweet”

“Oh no.. thats not all. That was not good enough for them because they would not be the same. I had to promise them that we would go and get us all special ornaments. They were so excited when they saw the ornaments that you got. When I put them to bed that night Hailey was so sweet. She felt so special and loved she said to me ‘Mommy loves us a lot Mommy… cause she was worried about our special ornaments to.’ There was no doubt in my mind when I saw what you had done that the ornaments that had meant so much to them in the past would be put away, a keepsake of the Christmas’ of the past… I wouldn’t want it any other way. We are a new family, I want to make many many more memories of all of us together for Christmas.”

“They were so cute when it came to putting the angel on the top of the tree. I knew we would have a fight on our hands.. but I didn’t think that it would go down the way it did.”

“I know. How cute was that.”

“Only our kids would fight over not wanting to put the angel up with out the others.”

“Colin is quite the little man of the house. I will never as long as I live forget him standing there with his hands on his little hips. ‘Moms… we are going to do this together, none of us want to do it by ourselves.’ Even with you, me, and Kit lifting them all up there to put the angel on the tree he still wasn’t happy because Gavin was too little to help.”

“I was so proud of him.. of all of them. They are amazing T.”

“They are. They are so close, and it happened so quickly. We are lucky.”

“Very lucky.”

“I hope they stay that way.”

“Me to… we will be up for some rough teenage years if they don’t.” Bette said with a chuckle.

“I don’t even want to think about it.”

“I know.. I wish we could keep them little forever.”

They sat in silence, holding each other, enjoying each other, and their thoughts of their family.
