Merry Christmas...I love the fact that this is also post #800! Today was by far, one of my most favorite Christmas days. Thomas is still young enough that literally every gift was a delight to him. Catherine received a new American Girl Doll and she couldn't be more thrilled. I was concerned that Robert wouldn't be happy with his gifts, especially since he's a teenager who sometimes lives in a "funk". However, everyone seemed very pleased with their gifts, and I still love watching the magic of Christmas through the eyes of my children.
Our big family meal was hosted by my sister this year. I must say, it was a really, really nice afternoon. It certainly made the day more relaxing for Andrew and me not to have to worry about preparing a big meal or cleaning the house in preparation for guests. We really all got to sit around and just relax and enjoy the day. My sister was a very gracious hostess and made a really delicious meal. My parents, both of my grandmothers, and an aunt were there. It was really just a very nice day.
And in other big news, we are under a blizzard warning. Never in my life have I ever been in an actual blizzard. Well, technically I was alive for the blizzards of '77/'78 but I was sick and can't even remember a thing about it (including exactly when it happened)! So this event shall be interesting!
Merry Christmas everyone...I hope the day was as magical for you as it was for us!
