This was the first Christmas without my Papa and feeling his presence around
us was truly magical. His favorite drink was a Manhattan and
so the entire familymade the drink and one was set by his picture.
The rest of the evening was spent
twirling in my Christmas dress, loving being with cousins, getting bumped up
to the adult table (this was HUGE), and admiring the books all the aunts made
for my Grammie to remember Christmas pasts with Papa.
It was a beautiful evening. I hope every one of you had a
wonderful evening as well. :)
