It really was a lovely, lovely day. I'm not used to the day being over so early, but I knew this would most likely be the case with family wanting to drive home before it became too dark. We had way too much food, and the fact that it was in the upper 60's today is ridiculous, but it was a very nice Christmas Day.
I had some concerns about how things were going to go knowing that my grandmother isn't doing very well, and that Andrew's father can be easily overwhelmed. My mother took a very nasty stumble yesterday that has resulted in her being on crutches at the moment, and her face is pretty beat up. And my sister arrived with the announcement that she felt lousy from her cold. It turned out that everyone really enjoyed their time together, and it was just the right amount of time. And I'm looking forward to a very nice evening hanging out with Catherine, Thomas, Andrew and his parents.
The only downside is that we never heard from Robert today. I can't say that I'm overly surprised. Andrew had texted him a couple of times yesterday, but never got a response. I had asked him to contact us (our phones can't call him but he can call us) while the family was here today, but it didn't happen. It is what it is, and it doesn't change the blessings that we had today, and have every day!
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope your day was as full of a family, love, and blessings as ours was!
