A Wonderful Quiet Christmas







Ah, the quiet and coziness of Christmas 2007. Mother and Daddy arrived on Christmas Eve and Daddy made the trip fine. He said he felt pretty good and at 94 years old that is a blessed thing! We got everyone and all the gifts in and settled in for a nice afternoon. I didn't have much to do because I had prepared a lot on Sunday night. Kenny (of course) had to do some last minute shopping HA HA - but he did have the flu last week so he did have a good excuse. Daddy rested some and when Kenny got back we had our wonderful "Filet" Steak Christmas Eve Dinner in the dining room. We enjoyed a fire and some wine and visiting. Christmas morning before we could even get a cup of tea and coffee Matilda wanted her presents - I think she could smell them! Her and Tatiana cried and scratched the boxes (this is true)! So we began to open our presents and having the fun. It was a wonderful year with very nice gifts. It was also cloudy and raining which you people know I loved (I was still hoping for snow but I'll take the rain!) We cleaned up had the big Daddy breakfast and just hung out all Christmas Day in our PJ's. This is how I LOVE to spend to Christmas. We cooked the ham and had our Tradition Sliced Bar-B-Que's with Daddy's sauce then played with our Zune MP3 players - Man, need Andrew to help me figure this out! Old people with electronics - now that is a hoot! Finally, after everything was done we all finally went to bed tired, full, and happy. So many things to be thankful for this Christmas with family, God, our country, friends, home and our babies. Merry Christmas 2007.....

I think that's the same MP3 player Andrew has....no wait....it's a Zen. Anyway, iPods are a lot easier, if limiting....
Trying to return to the blog world after our busy, busy Christmas. Thanks for the pictures :)
