Midnight...Christmas Morning

This is my Silent Night photo. I took it just past midnight Christmas morning. Kate and Fred/Dad were in bed(of course), the house was quiet and I was just sitting, looking at the tree, and realizing that this is the 40th Christmas Fred/Dad and I are spending together!! We were dating at Christmas in 1969 and now have been married for 39 1/2 years. Christmas of 1971 was celebrated with our daughter, Colleen, just 1 1/2 months old. In 1975, Leslie was with us and as the years flew by we had Beth and Kate to enjoy the holiday with. Wow!! Time really does fly! I can't wrap my head around that number 40. Before I know it, 40 will turn to 41. I only wish I could slow time down.
