Whoa...I Think I Missed December?

I know that December came...I remember celebrating Derek's 23rd Birthday.

Even if I can not find the pictures of the terrible cake I made for him.

I know December came because I found out that neither of my little granddaughters like Santa.

I know that we had a great time playing Christmas bingo, eating and watching fireworks for Christmas Eve.

I know that I loved seeing our sweet grand babies in their matching dresses that Ali had made for them.

I know that by Christmas Day I no longer cared that the two little ones had removed all the decorations from the bottom of the tree. I was just happy that I was getting to watch them enjoy the "balls".

I know that I loved having all my kids home early Christmas morning even if they were up all night making doughnuts.

I know that seeing someone so tiny in awe of all the "things" under the tree wasn't as fun

as playing with a manger and baby Jesus.

 

I know that I loved watching  my  sweet little granddaughters opening their gifts and enjoying each other.

 

and I know that it was wonderful to spend Christmas day going to church with my family and being surrounded by the music and spirit of Christmas.
