~Wonderful Christmastime 1981

HOLIDAY MEMORIES OF THE MATTHEWS FAMILY
Billy, Jamie and Mindy

This Christmas Mindy was 1 year and 8 months old.  I can't imagine our life without her!  
This year has gone by so fast!  She is the most delightful baby.  I am so lucky to be 
able to stay home and be with her every waking hour!  This Christmas was so fun 
as she knew what was going on and was thrilled with all the lights and decorations!

Jenny, Tommy, Mindy, Mikey and Matt
On Christmas Eve we went to Grandma and Grandpa Matthews' (Bill and Dorothy) house.  After dinner we went to Great Grandma & Grandpa Harris’ house (Edna and David - Dorothy's parents) and sang Christmas carols and had a lot of fun visiting. Grandma was sick and bed bound. Everything got a little hectic and there wasn’t enough time for the program and we all went home that night. 
 
Christmas morning we went over to the Matthews’ and their house was covered with presents (Billy is back in the corner observing it all)!  We hung out with everyone and stayed there till evening.  
Gammie couldn’t be with us this Christmas but she sent lots of fun toys for Mindy!
 
We celebrated Grandpa Matthews' birthday at our home in Antioch on December 14th! 
Tommy and Mikey shared their Big Wheel with Mindy - notice the little tool belt she also borrowed!  She is so adorable and I can't believe she is ours!!!
