On the eve before Christmas eve and all through the nation, Mom and Dad were driving to Baton Rouge and trying to agree on a radio station.
Excited to visit Todd and Nick, and wave goodbye to their daughter,
Mom exclaimed, ‘Oh my! Texas couldn’t be hotter.’
So far in the trip Dad had visited his sister,
And Mom had bought some cheap shoes that dad swore would cause a blister,
Shout out to Kayla, the newest addition to us all,
Who was born at just over six pounds on Friday and oh so small.
Todd was busy cleaning, while Nick busy mixing,
Lots of treats to fill their home, Mom and Dad would surely find transfixing,
Sarah was still in Denver, though lonely was not she,
For the beauty of friends and mountains, how much better could life be?
So this morning, Emily sits at her computer not working, oh no, no,
Excited to see Jarrod and family, but more to the point Santa, ho ho ho.
God is great, Jesus is born, this is the reason for the season,
But getting to see the ones we love sure is extra pleasin’
So as we close this year before,
Let’s enjoy our moments together and plan for many more.
