TREVOR AND CHRISTMAS TIME!
Trevor Tredaway reminds me what Christmas is all about!
As a Fireman...
...and with sister Morgan at a Texas Rangers Baseball Game!-
Over the years, what I truly love about Christmas is the lights that adorn houses and buildings. But moreover, it is the expression of excitement and anticipation on children's faces that brings to mind what Christmas is really all about for me.

For the last couple of years, many of you have been following the journey of 4 year-old Trevor Tredaway. I know Trevor and his wonderful parents and grandparents. He is really a humorous and resilient little boy who has been dealing with brain cancer. Trevor and his Mom, Melinda frequently fly to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Tennessee for Trevor to receive medical treatments. A local Chile's restaurant there has become absolutely smitten with Trevor and when he is in town, the staff of that restaurant rally to welcome Trevor with a mix of surprises and this, invariably, becomes a celebration of his fun personality. In fact, I am quite sure that when others are dining there and Trevor arrives, there is but no doubt that a special guest is in the house! I have thoroughly enjoyed featuring Trevor on my site because he is such a great kid and his personality is so positively vibrant and humorous. He really loves making friends with everybody and so, he is simply a child I want to support any way I can because the truth of the matter is Trevor makes us care! What better way to capture the spirit of the Holidays than to feature the above photos? Better yet, you can visit Trevor's blog site at:
Visiting Trevor and leaving a comment of our supportiveness to Trevor's Mom and Dad, Melinda and Todd is a wonderful way for us all to celebrate the Holiday Season with Love, Friendship and Laughter. Trevor reminds me over and over what this glorious season is really all about. It's about sharing the Love for one another!

Hello, Dianne! Thank you for visiting me. You are a kind soul too!

Its all about the kids and the smiles you get from them when they feel the love.
The gift of giving love is the cheapest and most precious gift one can bestow on a child and lets not forget the grown up kids.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours
Walker: Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year. You make a good point!
Trevor is such a little boy and I think he reminds so many of us what Joy and excitement there is in anticipating Santa Claus! :)
