Christmas Eve

Christmas eve has always been a highlight of Christmas for our family. We would always gather at my Grandpa and Grandma Chynoweth's house and watch them open all of their presents, then when all of us grandkids had our own kids we had to move it up to Ruby's Inn, eventually it turned into a big pot luck dinner with Chili, rolls, pies and whatever else we could muster up, there are alot of good cooks in the family and we all like to eat. Then last year on Christmas eve we could not have the party because Grandma was so sick with her cancer, all of her children gathered at her home for a small private party, Grandma's Birthday is on Christmas day, but she passed away at about 8:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve. It has been a hard day for my mom and I am sure everyone else thinking about her on this day. My hearts breaks to see my mom cry off and on all day. I know that she is happy where she is but of course it is hard for us here. I hope everyone has a merry Christmas and remembers the things that are simple and important in this life, as all hearts come home for Christmas!!!
