Christmas sure snuck up on me this year. It seemed to come so quickly after Thanksgiving! But we sure had a great one! This year we got to spend Christmas day with Mom and Dad!
Mom is recovering from knee replacement surgery and has had a rough time. So she wasn't feeling a hundred percent that day. And Dad has a back problem that flared up terribly, so he wasn't feeling great, either. But you'd never know it--they were both so cheerful and happy. They had a gorgeously decorated home, two Christmas trees, and tons of presents and good spirits. When we arrived, we dove into sausage biscuits and fruit and opening stocking gifts.
Then we moved onto tree gifts and of course, everyone was so thoughtful and generous. Here's Mom modeling a handmade scarf I gave her......
And see the Moose she gave me? She made the sweater that has a big Z on it. Z is for Moose!
The BIG surprise was for the boys--an X Box! They were stunned and thrilled. They went upstairs, hooked it up, and started playing right away.
After a while, Linda and Cecil came over. We made a buffet dinner while Mom rested her knee. There was plenty of food and plenty of conversation. All in all, a wonderful Christmas.
And afterwards, we hurried home to pack our bags and head to sunny Florida! But that is another post. Merry Christmas!
