"When you were about 5 years old and Ricky was about 2, we made the auto trip from Atlanta to Marcus. Stopped in Missouri to pick up my Dad's sister Sue, and made it to Iowa for a wonderful family Christmas. All 3 of Grandpa and Gandma Reed's kids were there with our kids, so there were 8 kid's presents under the tree and beeg candy canes, (one foot long) courtesy of your Uncle Warren. The presents were piled high-- up to one half of the tree. You were so exited that you couldn't sleep on Christmas eve and wandered out worrying and crying that if everyone was not asleep,Santa wouldn't come. We assured you and you finally fell asleep. What a Christmas morning it was! And what a trip!
