I yelled. \-\Stacey
yelled back [RNDOthat
she was coming.] \-\It
was Christmas time 1988,#NuA01
\,\Stacey and
I=CS were loading
gifts {into the cars.}
\-\We were almost ready to leave*INFAV04
{for Woodburn}

the gifts.
\-\{At
last} we had arrived {at
the church} [RAJFwhere
the children were.] \-\My
mother asked [RNDOif

would come help*INFAV04
{with the presents.}]
\-\We got the bags {of

them {into the church}
\R\all the little
children were waiting {for us.}
\-\First
we had all the children sit*INFDO05
down [RAVFso
we could give them thier gifts.] \-\[LAVFAs
they opened the gifts] the
childrens eyes lite up. \-\I
had never seen a child*INFDE09

to realize*INFDO12
[RNDOhow lucky
I was {for all the clothes}
[RAJFI had.]]

[RAJFwho had
recieved a doll [RAJFthat
made her*INFDE03
really happy.]] \-\We
had our pictures*INFDE03
taken and put*INFDE05
{in the newspaper.}
\-\[LAVFAfter
every child had opened thier gifts,]
it was time {for us}
to go*INFAJ03
home.#NuA01
\-\This
was an experience [RAJFI
will never forget.] \-\Seeing*GerSU06
the childrens faces lite*INFDO05
up is something [RAJFI

loved doing*GerDO02
that \C\and I
