1953

This Christmas brings us all the joys;
We've ever had before.
With health and happiness and our girls & boys;
And oh yes there is more.

The Heir expected by Jack and Jean;
As recorded in fifty-two.
Now what for a name was Grandpa's
They said Steven Avery will do.

On the continued story of our Christmas Days;
Around our Christmas Tree.
This name sake will add in a thousand ways
To Grandpa's Family Tree

The Story Continues with our youngest son;
And his wife the mother of two.
They placed an order for another one;
They agreed a redhead would do.

The Sixth of September the order came;
The stork was passing that day.
With Monty's red hair & Betty's name;
It's a girl, Teresa May.

There are two new names on our family tree;
With Stevie we have eight boys.
Teresa added, there are eight girls you see;
Sixteen to play with toys.
