Merry Christmas

The stockings are hung, Christmas eve at the folks is over, now I am up early, like every day. . . just waiting on the kids to come. They are coming at 10:30. That gives them time to have Christmas morning at home, make other stops, if necessary and then here.

What fun we had at Dad and Mom's last night. The whole clan was together. Makes for a noisy hot house. We had to turn the air conditioner on. It was a night of surprises. Mom and Dad gave my nephew Ryan a bunch of old movies and TV show videos (never opened) that belonged to Uncle Dell. He was so emotional. That is Ryan. . .the biggest kid, with the biggest soft heart. We decided years ago not to buy stuff for the sisters. Well, they played dirty. Sherry made Diana and I each a quilt. The tops belonged to Grandpa Andy(Fador) and his French wife (Lucienne). She had pieced them. Nice gesture. Diana (always told she is the mean one) decided to do something really nice, and bought us matching diamond/heart necklaces. Funny thing there, Mom had bought the exact same necklaces for the granddaughters. I guess great minds think alike.
