The Christmas Season has begun




The Benson 65th Wedding Anniversary/Christmas Party was a great way to start off the Holiday Season. This was just the first of many parties we would be able to attend. Grandpa and Grandma B are so special to us and we truly love them. We had a great dinner prepared by Brad and Maureen, and then watch old videos from 15-20 years ago prepared by Larry of our christmas parties and reunions. We had a great time reminiscing about the old times. Then the children were able to see Santa. Kjia, Morgan, and Rhett still love sitting on Santa's lap. I love listening to the list of things that each one wants. Kjia wants a camera, Morgan wants a nice radio, and Rhett wants a Nintendo DS, among a list of other items. Santa was great to encourage the kids to clean bedrooms, be good in school, and especially help their mother. As all the kids were seeing Santa, the adults were cleaning up and Grandpa fell on the chair cart, which resulted in a broken hip. What a traumatic event for our Grandpa, and a long recovery. We wish him well and I can't wait till he comes home.
