I posted pictures of a few of the holiday highlights.
Jamey and his girlfriend, Samantha, came for a visit. This is the first time I have gotten to meet her. She is so sweet. I really like this girl.
Joe and I always go to a Christmas concert. This year we went to a Selah concert. Selah is one of my favorite contemporary groups. Our Lizzie and Rog went with us.
My oldest sister Inez, decided to retire from her job of 38 years and got married. Wow, that was a lot of major changes made in a very short period of time. Our Christmas eve tradition is Christmas eve service at church, and a meal. The sisters no longer give gifts to each other, but we still give gifts to our mother. Mother always goes home with a major haul! This year our new brother in law prepared the Christmas eve meal. It was excellent.
The day after Christmas, we enjoyed our holiday visit with Joe's family. We went south to Beverly and Walters house. I love going to their house because it is never crowded. They have so much room to spread out and they are wonderful hosts. Alicia, and her boyfriend Daniel and Kayla are teenagers. I think they may have to gotten to the age where it is best to buy a gift card. I made my first visit to Aeropostle to buy their gifts. I was way out of my element. But they were very sweet and said they liked what I had picked out. Jennifer, Dan, Jordan and Brylan were there. 10 month old Brylan was tearing the paper off the box. I think Jordan was hoping there was a new toy in his box and it was only some boring clothes. What a bad Gram I was. For the last several years we have played a trivia game and have little prizes. It is so much fun. T
here are always a couple of gifts that everyone wants. I never know what they will be. This year it was that root beer in the brown bottles and a season of McGyver DVD. Kayla always seems to hold on to the gift everyone would like to have.
I loved my year end shutdown from work. I slept late and just lounged around and did a little scrapping. On Christmas day we did not have to go anywhere and I wore my pajamas all day long. I even cooked in my pajamas. I am usually a person who gets dressed first thing. It was so relaxing. I did not send out Christmas cards this year. I don't really have a good excuse, I just did not do it.
My word for this year is reconnect. I want to reconnect with friends, church and fitness/health. As always my resolution is to loose weight. It is 1/11/11 and I have not really established a plan but I really am going to work on it.
I hope you had holiday filled with memories and special times with family and friends.
Love,
Linda
