These are just some holiday pics from the home of TURTLE WORLD

It was a wonderful Christmas in 2005! At the home of Turtle World their was a lot of love and family gathering and yes even the critters were involved! The pictures don't really tell the story of how wonderful it was. There were family gatherings one after another. To us that is what Christmas is - sharing the good times and celebrating with your family. Beth cooked a big meal for her mom and dad and Sam's mom Christmas eve. We had a great time! Then Sam and his mom went to visit Sam's brother and his family. We got to see Santa and Mrs. Claus as well as three elves as they stopped in to wish John a Merry Christmas. It was a GREAT day! On Christmas day we had our Christmas and then Stephen and Zabrina had us over to share in their Christmas too. "Hucks" first Christmas and he was loving it! Jessie and Greg had family over to share in their first Christmas together. She cooked a fantastic meal and all ten off us ate and shared good times. As though all this wasn't wonderful enough, Christmas eve as Sam stood out on the back deck looking into the sky, he wished his father a Merry Christmas and at the exact moment as he finished saying that, a very bright shooting star very low in the western sky shot across from above the neighbors house and disappeared as it reached a towering church steeple only a few blocks away! Everyone can believe as they wish but we know that the spirit of Christmas and all of its love is strong at our house and in our hearts! We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
