Merry Christmas

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and get everything your little heart desires!The kiddo, DIL and grandkiddo are here for the holidays, and we've had a wonderful time with them. My family got together last night at Mom's to eat too much and open gifts. Most of them were for the grandkiddo. He wasn't overly excited, but then, he is only two months old. He got clothes, stuffed animals, rattles, bags, diapers, formula and money, and yawned through most of it. Our favorite was the reindeer who sings and dances to "Feliz Navidad." He watched it wide-eyed the first time, but the other times the deer danced were for the adults' enjoyment.


Not all of the family could make it last night. Niece 1, her husband and their son were tied up with his family, but we'll get to see them today. The kiddo, DIL and grandkiddo are spending the day with her family, but we'll see them this evening. And Niece 2 will be there for dinner, but will have to cut out soon after to nap before her all-night shift at the hospital. After New Year's, she'll be leaving for school in El Salvador, so we won't see her again until next Christmas. I'm not sure what the family will do without her.
Have a good one!
