The pouting quivering lip and the running like a tornado seemed just how one would picture a young Joe.Author’s Response:Chavel, thank you for spending some of your New Year’s Eve reading my story. I too enjoy peeking at the days that made the boys the men who we came to love. I’m sure there were a few more ’emotions or actions’ that could have been added, but little peeks allow the reader to envision the scene to their own fulfillment.**********

Date: 23 Dec 2013 10:01 pm Title: Silent NightVery sweet story. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the ranch hands’ depicted as giving gifts to the Cartwright boys, but it’s a nice touch. But no candy next year, guys–LOLAuthor’s Response:Puchi, I agree, but candy did seem to be one gift they could afford and would want to give, especially as the boys were still young. Let’s just hope they remember no candy next year, at least for Marie and Adam’s sake…**********

Thanks a lot!Author’s Response:Maria, I only thought of him as a little tornado, you must have a more vivid imagination in order to get a ‘sweet-rushing’ Little Joe into a little hurricane! That makes the imagry even more dire!!! (tee hee hee) Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Nice little Christmas story. Thanxs. JoeCAuthor’s Response:JoeC, no we don’t know for sure whether Joe was like this all the time (doubtful), but with all the sweets he was given by the ranch hands… I can just see him sitting on his bed, eating all his candy instead of taking his nap, and then the sugar rush… At least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it! I’m glad you enjoyed the story and thank you for leaving a review.

Little Joe’s enthusiasm is irresistable, even if he’s also more than a little irritating…but I’m sure he looks sweetest to Marie and Ben when his eyes are tightly closed! Thank you for this sweet glimpse of a happy family!
Author’s Response:
SKL, always irresistable and only a little irritating, especially after a ‘sweet’ fueled day. Yes, Marie and Ben believed he was the sweetest with his eyes tightly closed. I’m glad you enjoyed.

This was a real fun story to read. Baby Little Joe is soo cute and quite the little whirlwind. Loved this story Thanks
Sounds just like most four-year-olds waiting on Santa. That was fun, especially imagining them all trying to catch a little tornado. Been there, done that!
