Katherine watched Tim as he opened his gifts with excitement written all over his face.
She looked around with a smile on her face. Jon had done a great job arranging everything for the party and she was very grateful that son had the ninth birthday party he wanted. Tim was really growing up so fast. She thought.
"Who wants cake?" she heard her mother announce and seconds later, kids were running towards her shouting "I do".
She laughed as they crowded around Delia. Her mother loved kids. Even when she was little, Delia always encouraged her and Jon to bring her friends over. Which Jon the food lover never failed to do.
Her father sat in a corner, watching the kids with a smile on his face. Jon and his fiance, Kate were also present. Katherine had to admit, life was much better when you had your family around and you knew they would always be there for you no matter what.
