Not being too big to be read to on grandparent laps,
watching the balloons with Dad as an arm rest,
Feasting on food crafted by Aunt Becca,
lounging with cousins,
collecting gratitudes with Aunt Aimee,
decorating the house where your Dad grew up,
creating angels out of Grandpa's ties with Grammy,
sledding with cousins without very much snow,
wearing Great Grandfather's Navy dress uniform,
walking through the woods,
to usher in the Christmas season,
with a helicopter,
and a parade,
before a quiet Sunday evening at home.
