7:47 a.m. - Merry Christmas everyone! Yesterday was 90% PERFECT! It was a full day, but Amber and I brought the holidays and joy to our families. We started the day with breakfast and gifts for the families of the Kiddoo girls - Karrigan, Kenzie, Kourtney and all of their "kin"...except Michael, who had to work. The wrapping paper and festive boxes were flying and toys and clothes and other gifts were opened and cherished. Kids were running around and playing and adults chit-chatted and had some laughs. Amber had a couple of games to play with the kids too, and Grandma Rhonda and Grandpa Jack were here to celebrate too. A couple hours later, Cole and Carmen, Tyler, and Caleb arrived. There was a little lunch for them and then more gifts. I think the mark was hit again with those folks - the highlight being the "drum set" for Caleb. We had purchased a stand and symbol along with five buckets, some drum sticks, and a stool to make it all completed. And boy did he play a lot on his drum set. It was awesome. Then we all hopped in our cars and headed to Taylor Ridge United Methodist Church for Christmas Eve service. Pastor Jacob was a little long-winded, but it was still nice. And through the fog and mist that settled in, we went to mom and dad's for some potato soup, oyster soup, sandwiches and more gifts. It wasn't a big gathering, but it was a nice gathering, and we ended the night with mom, dad, Darren, Greg, and I playing some euchre to end the night. Amber wasn't feeling well, so Greg brought me home. Before Tyler, Carmen, and Caleb left, I took Caleb out to the barn to visit with the "neigh-neighs". And the night wrapped up with Greg getting me home, so I had a chance to talk with him. Did I mention the day was 90% PERFECT! I'm so happy that we were able to give a Christmas day to our folks. The 10% missing was missing spending time with Chase too, but I did send him some gifts, and I did send him a card with a message I hope will reach his heart.
Today? It's a quiet Christmas morning, and having leftovers from yesterday for breakfast was awesome. I'd like to get in some exercise, and I'd like to get into the hot tub. I think we are headed to Jack and Rhonda's for lunch and more euchre. After that, we'll head to the casino. I'm not sure if I'll make it over to mom and dad's, but I'll try.
