Family Christmas

I didn't forget, Mom! It just took me a while to decide what to say.

We had a wonderful time at the somewhat different and late Christmas gathering at my parents house on Saturday. The company was great, the food was perfect and the gifts from Mom and Dad were more than they should have been. I have already lit my Pumpkin Pie candle. It won't last long at my house.

I got to visit with Mom and Dad, with my grandfather and my uncle and with my neice. She is growing so fast and she is so full of energy! Sandi, you have your hands full! Me and Mom had a nice trip to Grenada to Walls especially to get a candle for Chris. He is so hard to buy for that when Mom heard him say he liked the scent of a candle she had, she was on it. We were out the door, in the car and heading for the dam. I hate the dam. Sorry, but I don't like driving over large bodies of water. That would cover bridges and boats, people.

We got to talk and we spent more than we should and stayed longer than we should have, but guess what. It didn't matter. Here we are and everything is fine. Chris didn't miss his game and I actually cooked dinner. We didn't eat out! I was impressed with us.

Thanks mom, for the great Christmas, yet again. I love you and Dad and it was nice to visit with you.
