It was a wonderful Christmas! Shari and Mark flew up from North Carolina for a couple of days, and we had them all of Christmas Day. Terry and Shelley didn't know they were coming, so Bob and I had to keep it a secret. (At least from them - just about everyone else knew!) Terry was reading that morning, expecting Shelley and Bob and Matthew to be at our house soon. I knelt down by him and told him that I had a little surprise for him for Christmas. He just grunted!! Then Shari and Mark were coming up the walk and I told him that the surprise was coming up the walk. I think he was really shocked. Cool! Then Shelley, Bob and Matthew came. Shari wanted to meet Shelley at the door. It was a good surprise. I think that it was Shelley's secret wish for Christmas - one that she thought was impossible. We all had a very nice, quiet Christmas Day. Then after opening presents together, Shari and Mark handed us each a small bag and told us to open it at the same time. None of us got it at first - it was a baby bottle. We were so dense - it took a minute to sink in. They are having a baby!! What a wonderful Christmas surprise for all of us!
